1. What is your city and state?
Monterey, California
2. When did you start using the Charity Miles app, why, and what do you think about it?
I started using Charity Miles in December 2014. I figured since I was going to go out and get those miles in anyways, why not raise money for the charity of my choosing? And that is what I tell my friends to encourage them to use it as they go on their lunchtime walks or evening bike rides.
3. Why did you choose to join the Green House Healthy Charity Miles Team?
I was thrilled to join the Green House Healthy Team on Charity Miles to be part of a team of like minded athletes who use cannabis and hemp products as part of their active and healthy lifestyles.
4. What’s your favorite way to put in miles?
My favorite way to put in Charity Miles is running, by far, but I also enjoy hiking, cycling and trail riding.
5. What are some of your favorite charities to contribute to and why?
I like to contribute to ASPCA, Sight for Kids, American Lung Association, Wounded Warrior to name a few. I sometimes pick by who has raised the least amount of money at the moment, but all off the choices are fantastic causes, so you really cant go wrong with whatever charity you choose.
6. Do you support or consume cannabis for fitness, and if so, what can you share with us about your experience?
I consume cannabis prior to do doing any endurance exercising. It helps along with my favorite music to get me into that zone to get through my runs and rides. I’ll usually use my vape pen (shout out to Raw Garden and Select) or edibles. Im a big fan of edibles as I make all my own from scratch including infusing the butter or coconut oil. Post exercise I go for CBD products. I currently enjoy Wonder Extracts 25:1 and 1:1 CBD RSO. Perfect for the recovery of those worked muscles.
7. What advice would you give someone interested in the Charity Miles app and joining the Green House Healthy Team?
If you’re already putting in those miles you could be raising money for a charity that you are passionate about, so whats stopping you!?
8. Is there anything else you’d like to add?
I enjoy doing my part to change the misconception of lazy stoners as I’ve clocked 4,000 Charity Miles miles and raised over $809 for various charities.
