Wow, I am getting really excited.
Not for myself, this time. For the girls at My Refuge House. Girls who have lived much of their young lives in slavery and now, because of the work MRH is doing, they are receiving hope, training, love and safety. Did you know there are over 20 million slaves RIGHT NOW on this planet?
I know.
It’s grim.
But My Refuge House isn’t about the grim . . .it’s all about . . .
Freedom! here’s what we’re doing and why:
And starting May 1, you can help. Movement 4 Freedom is an initiative that’s running the entire month of May (it may or may not have been partially motivated by my annual 5K a Day in May – I like to think I gave them the idea. Mainly because I emailed them and said “we should do this!” and then Kim and the team took it from there. But ya’ll know how I like taking credit so there you go . .).
You can do it, too! If you want to move and raise money, GO FOR IT. You can find out how here.
OR . . . ..
You can just give money as I move for freedom!
Here’s how:
Comment here or on the FB page how much you’d like to pledge to free a young girl.
Keep in mind that $11 a day provides housing, training, counseling and love to a young girl who’s been trafficked. I’ll write your name down and bug you encourage you to pony up the cash.
It’s truly that simple. Once we’re done and all the pledges come in, I’ll be doing a shout out to all of you that donated and maybe even a giveaway or two (need to convince somebody to give me some free stuff to giveaway. Anybody want to give me some free stuff to giveaway?).
Because these girls need us. And we can move for their freedom. It will be good for them and it will be good for us! And if you’ve been thinking of starting a regular workout routine, what a great time to start! You don’t have to run – you can walk, bike, swim, cross-fit, Piyo, whatever floats your fitness boat!
Scott will be pledging $5 for every 5K I do in May. Since I’m hoping to do one EVERY DAY it’s going to really add up! I can’t wait to see what all this great movement does for us and for the girls. It’s going to be an EPIC month!
