K9s For Veterans, NFP- 22 Mile Challenge

A virtual challenge or virtual race is an event that happens whenever you want it to, wherever you decide to have it.

With a marathon type-race, for example- you'd register for the event that takes place on a certain day, at a certain time, at a set location.  There are normally hundreds, if not thousands of people present all at the same place.

Often times, those that participate are athletes that have been training for the event for some time.

Because a virtual challenge isn't in any one particular place or time, there is no requirement to be any type of an athlete, and you don't need to be in any one particular place at any specific time.

This allows people from all walks of life, and all fitness levels to participate- AND their only competition is that which they set for themselves.  This also allows races to be longer- sometimes hundreds of miles- or even thousands of miles- and can be broken up into tiny pieces of activity over months and months if need be.

Some people might run ten miles a day toward a goal.  Others might walk a few blocks toward the same goal- there is no one to judge the effort or capabilities of each participant.  You are only accountable to yourself.

Keep track of your miles (or the conversion of your chosen activity to miles) and when you've reached your challenge goal- send a screenshot or a photo of your tracker to us- and we will promptly engrave and ship out your medal and certificate!    Yes, you get a medal and a certificate for simply completing the challenge!  You earned it!  Way to go!

K9s for Veterans mission is to help veterans with post traumatic stress disorder transition back to civilian life once their military service has ended with the help of trained service dogs. We are committed to educating the public about the plight of veterans with PTSD and streamlining the process for them to get service dogs, so they get the help they need...  Before it’s too late.  K9 provides free food and medical care for the life of the service dog. The lifesaving efforts of K9s for Veterans are doubled by the exclusive use of rescue dogs from kill shelters to train as service dogs for our veterans. This approach truly epitomizes the question of “who rescued who”. Our duty is to be honest and thoughtful stewards of the funds our donors entrust us with so we can maximize their generosity and the number of veterans that benefit from it. Together, we can make a difference for these struggling heroes and the dogs who devote their lives to them.​

The K9s for Veterans, NFP program is a 501c3 non-profit organization and is hosting a 22 mile virtual challenge fundraiser to help support their amazing cause.  Every participant in this virtual challenge is saying- "Thank you for your service, and your needs are not forgotten".

Every single day on average, we lose 22 heroes to suicide- this challenge is to remember those veterans and help provide more dogs to those that need them.

This event is on behalf of K9s For Veterans, NFP and based on the number of participants, they can earn up to 40% of profits toward their goal.  It's important that you help get others involved- even kids can participate.  A family walk around the block counts!  A stroll through the grocery store counts.  Whatever you can do to get moving- COUNTS!

Every step can lead you to your goal and a well-deserved medal!

Even better- this particular event is open to PETS too!  Take the 22 mile pledge to honor the memories of the veterans we lose every day to suicide and to help prevent these tragedies in the future. Enroll yourself and your pet(s) today!
