Heart On My Arm - Great New Running Product

Running a marathon, half-marathon, a 5K or doing a walkathon for charity?  Looking for an extra source of motivation during your training and during the race?  Check out these new wristbands: Heart On My Arm.  As an avid runner who´s been heavily involved in charitable work for years, Ryan Bennett, a good friend of mine, developed a product that provides anybody running/walking/cycling for a cause with something to give them that extra boost of motivation while also providing functionality.  The Heart On My Arm wristbands are made from sweatwicking material and have a 3.5 X 2.5 inch window perfect for displaying a photo of the person you´re honoring by running, or a motivational image or quote that will help you accomplish your goals.  Aside from added motivation the wristbands also provide functionality in the form of a small zipper pocket perfect for storing keys, money, or an MP3 player.  I really could´ve used one of these around mile 42 of the 50 mile day of the Gobi March in 2009, and now I never leave for a run without one.  In addition to producing a great product the Heart On My Arm company also donates 5% of its profits to non-profits.  This aspect is very important to Ryan who aside from being an avid marathoner, the sole proprietor of Heart On My Arm, and working a full time corporate job, also runs his own non-profit organization that provides scholarships to graduating special education high school students: FAB For Life Foundation.  Get one before the first batch is sold out!
