Happy Friday! Program note: I am hosting Fit n Fashionable Friday over on Nicole’s blog today so please stop by and say hi!
Today I’d like to talk about a fun campaign I’ve just joined up with: If Girls Ran The World.
Throughout the month of October, thousands of women will join together to collectively run around the world virtually. That’s over 24 thousand miles! Their global efforts will fund numerous charities around the world that benefit girls and women. I will be logging my miles throughout October to benefit Girls on The Run, a cause near and dear to my heart.
Why should you join me?
The Challenge
Seems like people are all about fitness challenges these days! They are fun and a great way to keep up your fitness goals. You are already doing it so why not put it towards a great cause.
It’s social
It’s going to be fun to cheer each other on virtually as we rack up miles. Track and share your miles through Strava or MapMyFitness or just keep track on your own.
Walking or Running counts
It doesn’t matter if you walk or run or what your pace is. Moving forward is all that counts. You can log your miles once a week or everyday up to you.
Pick your cause
You can pick which charity your miles will benefit. I will be running for Girls on The Run but there are literally hundreds to choose from.
Help girl empowerment globally
I especially like that the charities will all help girls and women around the world.
