Harvesting Hope Distance Challenge Returns

Back by popular demand is FPWR's Harvesting Hope Distance Challenge! Nearly 100 virtual trotters joined us for the challenge last year covering a whopping 3,750 miles during the 7-week period. How far can we get this year? That's up to you!

Kids and adults alike share how fun and motivating they found last year's challenge. "We were so proud of Addy's motivation during the challenge," said mom, Bobbi Pogrant. "Each day Addy got up early to go walking before school, walked during her recesses and walked most nights too - all her idea!" 

Declan, age 9, loved checking the leaderboard. According to his mom, Allison Shelton, he would check the leaderboard regularly, then set his goal for the week to help him move up. "We found the entire family walking more during the challenge," says Allison, "it was a great activity to keep us outside and active during the lead up to Thanksgiving!"

 Participating is simple:

1. Create a Fundraising Page to share with friends and family
2. Download the Strava app and follow Foundation for Prader-Willi Research. (The free version of the app is all you need!)
3. Start logging your distance - track every mile you walk, jog, or run between October 5 and Thanksgiving Day. Set a personal distance goal and get out there! We hope to see your name on the weekly leaderboard!

Throughout the challenge, every participant will receive motivation mail from FPWR's trotting turkey! Raise or Donate $35 and receive a finisher medal and completion certificate. Those who raise $300 or more will receive a Grateful Box that includes a Live Life FULL water bottle, FPWR cooling towel, Harvesting Hope finisher medal + certificate!
