Stepping Up to Fight for Children
Welcome to @evolved08gsr's 2018 Steptember Challenge
https://www.steptember.us/about-us/
For those of you who are new to my blog, I did the same challenge last year. This year will be "more challenging", but that's mostly because I need to find the motivation to run every day in much higher heat / temperatures and I'm not running off my frustrations in NYC after a long day at work!
I still pledge to step at least 10,000 steps per day; and on days where I fail, I promise that I will make it up as soon as possible!
Another new fact for this year is that I'm my team's leader! Which means I'm going to arbitrarily put more pressure on myself and hold myself accountable.
If you've never tried it, 10,000 steps per day is quite a difficult number to achieve; especially for 4-5 weeks, without breaks for the weekends!
The best part of this challenge is that it goes towards helping children receive medical care that they need; and hopefully one day provide future children with a cure!
Similar to last year (despite not receiving direct donations from the community here), I will be donating the liquid portion of my post's earnings (SBD). I suspect that my total donations from SBD will be less than $25 USD, so I will be submitting my donation in that amount at some point during the challenge, regardless of how much I earn here.
This is a 28-day challenge, beginning today, so the last day of the challenge is October 1 (unless I did the math wrong). At that point, I pledge that I will have walked at least 280,000 steps and donated at least $25 towards Cerebral Palsy Research.
I hope that you all will join me in my journey over the next 28 days and support me in my efforts to take at least 10,000 steps per day! If you wish to donate to myself or my team, please let me know and I will provide you with the direct link to my page. We can privately discuss the details on Discord, if preferred.
Below I've posted some additional information about the fundraising group - Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation (CPARF).
