to end poverty for good!

Our dedicated supporters consistently step up for our families, challenging themselves to "move" in ways that inspire them. Individual supporters, run and cycle clubs, businesses, restaurants, and more, dedicate their time and energy to do good for the families we work alongside. We've seem some crazy things done to raise funds like running 200 miles in 8 days, cycling 600 miles in a month, swimming 100 laps underwater, and the list goes on.

We hope you decide to "move" with us this year! All that we ask is you choose something that you're passionate about, choose a timeframe that works for you, and raise funds to make an impact on the lives and livelihoods of others.

“Anything to help the less fortunate is always something that tugs at my heart. We know this won't solve all the issues going on in the world, but if it helps at least one family then we will do anything we can to make sure they're safe and happy.”

“WORK is new to me, and while I am experiencing and participating for the first time, I have already been surrounded by and filled with love, excitement, patience, and compassion. I'm so excited to take the work I am doing independently and to put it towards something powerful, beautiful, and necessary.”
