Dorothy's House 10,000-Mile Challenge, by F3 Des Moines

Hey everyone! Please join F3 Des Moines for our first-ever week-long virtual activity challenge! We're aiming to log a whopping 10,000 miles together as a group. It's all for a great cause—raising awareness about the serious issue of human trafficking right here in our community.

Throughout the week of October 6-12, all participants will track their own miles wherever you want to log them. Whether you're walking, running, cycling, or doing your favorite activity, every mile counts towards our goal!

Not only are we spreading awareness, but we're also fundraising for Dorothy's House, a nonprofit in Des Moines that supports survivors of human trafficking from our community. The money raised will directly help in their recovery and restoration. Let's make a difference together!

ABOUT DOROTHY'S HOUSE - https://dorothyshouse.org/ 

Dorothy’s House was once a rundown house and a beautiful goal to help survivors of human trafficking in Iowa. Led by our founder, the community helped transform the house into a safe, supportive space for survivors. We opened our doors to residents in January 2016.

Now, we offer a safe place for survivors to live, have their basic needs met and get help removing barriers to their individual healing journeys. Our programming options have evolved to enable us to also help survivors who can’t live in our home because of gender, age and other circumstances.

We focus on the unique needs and personal goals of each person who passes through our doors. We find most of our participants are at risk or vulnerable, and likely to continue negative patterns without intervention.

ABOUT F3 NATION - https://f3nation.com/ 

F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Started in 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina, F3 is now in 48 states, on 5 continents, with more than 4,205 scheduled workouts a week through the volunteer efforts of men whose lives have been changed by their involvement with the group.

The three Fs in our name stand for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith — the last of which we define as not one specific religion or faith system, but simply a belief in something outside oneself.

Our workouts …
Are free of charge
Are open to all men
Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
