Yesterday I entered my miles for the HOPE & FREEDOM CHALLENGE.
Since I’m still cranking my indoor trainer, I had this initial thought that my paltry 15 miles didn’t amount to much. At $1 per mile, $15 doesn’t seem like much compared to the huge need of the kids we support.
But then I looked at our team total and realized that altogether we’ve accumulated more than 13,000 miles so far this year. $13,000 makes a significant difference.
A lot of things in life work that way. By yourself, it’s tough to make much of an impact. But when you combine your efforts with a community of like-minded folks, it’s amazing what can be accomplished.
It’s the whole design of creation. While some try desperately to cultivate the notion of the rugged individual, the truth is we were created by a community (the trinity) for community. We were always intended to work and live and love together.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

And speaking of community, why not join the HOPE & FREEDOM CHALLENGE?
You can walk, run, bike, swim, skateboard, even walk your dog. You get the idea – miles are miles, and every mile matters.
All you do is sign up, enter your miles in our app, and watch the dollars accumulate along with a community of folks some around the world. Every time you enter miles you know you’re bringing hope and freedom to a group of kids rescued from human trafficking.
What could be better than that?
