Cambridge, MA (PRWeb) March 14, 2007 -- Traineo.com (www.traineo.com), the web's fastest growing online fitness community has partnered with Biotherm, a luxury division of L'Oreal, to launch an online sweepstakes via a traineo group branded for Biotherm's new Healthy Difference line of skin care products. Members of the group participate in the sweepstakes at no cost and can pledge to make a Healthy Difference in their lives while helping others through a Biotherm charity initiative for the Lollipop Theater Network.



Each member of the Healthy Difference group (http://healthydifference.groups.traineo.com), which is featured in the thriving network of thousands of members in the traineo health and fitness community, has the option of entering into the Healthy Difference sweepstakes for the chance to win the grand prize of an all expenses paid weekend at the Green Valley Luxury Spa and Resort in Utah. The lucky winner of the sweepstakes will be drawn at random shortly after the close of the contest on April 7th 2007, and 200 runners-up will receive a free bottle of Biotherm's new Healthy Difference Daily Enriched Moisture Lotion.

In addition to entering the competition at no cost, users within the group have the opportunity to post a 'Healthy Difference' statement which encompasses their motivation towards making a Healthy Difference in their lives. For each entry into the Healthy Difference sweepstakes, Biotherm will donate $1 to The Lollipop Theater Network, a New York based charity which arranges private screenings of newly released movies for children suffering from debilitating illnesses.

"Traineo provides a unique opportunity to connect directly with health and fitness-minded people who fit our brand's target audience, using our Healthy Difference sweepstakes", said Diane Maranis, Director of Marketing at Biotherm USA.
