This year marks my 5th as a participant, and I'm excited to take on my challenge as part of Move Across May by logging 200 minutes of activity each week!

I initially joined in 2020 during a very tough time in my life. My grandma passed away suddenly, and the world was in the midst of a pandemic. I wanted to connect with others and find some positive in the negative. Putting in the miles and walking helped get me through this time, and I've continued to join the movement and stay involved because I wholeheartedly believe in the work WORK does. I've seen it on the ground, and I've seen the tremendous growth from the team but especially from the families WORK supports.

This virtual challenge supports WORK, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to accompany families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. I'm proud to be a part of this community and raise funds to support WORK's programs. Help me reach my fundraising goal by making a donation today. Every dollar counts!
