Cybex, a leading manufacturer of exercise equipment, developed pink treadmills and arc trainers for gymnasiums across the country to spur physical activity and fund-raising.

For every mile logged on a pink Cybex treadmill, the company will donate $.10 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. It will donate $.20 for every mile logged on the pink Cybex arc trainers.
