Since we are not able to gather physically, we’ve come up with a way for us to be socially connected while raising funds to benefit the Rotary Foundation.
You are invited to participate in a holiday season walking challenge from December 18th- January 1st. Our goal is to complete 10 miles!
Since this is a virtual event, you can complete your goal whenever and wherever you would like! You can walk outside or on a treadmill; every step counts over the course of two weeks.
You will be using an app on your phones to track your progress. Please don’t forget to encourage friends and family to join as well!
Here's how to participate:
Support us by donating $25 through PayPal. Choose "Send money to friends and family” and send to PayRotaryClubAtlWestEnd@gmail.com.
Don't forget to note your name and ‘Holiday Season Walkathon’ into the note field.
Download the “Nike Run Club” app and click “join us” to create a profile. (See Vid1)
Add “Sumeyra Ozturk” as a friend. She will then be able to add you to the “Holiday Season Walk-a-Thon Challenge” that we created on the app. (See Vid1) Once you are added to the challenge, it will appear in your account and then you can click on it to “accept” the challenge. (See Vid2)
Make sure to click on the “running” tab on the app and “start” it. Only that way will your steps and miles will be counted towards the challenge. (See Vid2)
Don’t forget to keep track of your progress. You can also check how your friends and families are doing!
Lastly, be festive! Share your photos that you take during your walk on social media by using the #rotarywestendiswalking hashtag, or send your photos to InfoRotaryAWE@gmail.com so that we can share for you!
