Description
The YEBOfam invites you to join our Spring Fundraiser, the Friendship Walk/Run 2024 - a virtual race with your friends!
As you may know, we are on a Mission to tell 1,477 Stories, and that number spearheads our work at YEBO. So, with that, we invite you to walk/run 147.7 miles with 2, 3, 4, or 5 of your closest friends! Here's the math:
2 friends is 73.85 miles each, that’s 2.38 miles a day
3 friends is 49.23 miles each, that’s 1.58 miles a day
4 friends is 36.92 miles each, that’s 1.19 miles a day
5 friends is 29.54 miles each, that’s 0.95 miles a day
You can log miles any time during the challenge time frame of May 1 – May 31. Log your distance daily or weekly. You'll find that tracking your progress can be a great source of motivation!
Only miles done on foot count, such as walking, jogging, running, and hiking. Cycling, roller/blading, or skating do not count. Cumulative miles, such as counting steps from a full day, do not count. For example, walking around at a mall all day does not count. The activity must have a start and an end.
