Move for Mision Mexico
Donation protected
As of the 20th of July, Ryan, Ben and Kalen are aiming to run and cycle 2000 km’s in 20 weeks! Fun fact, that is as far as the length from Brisbane to Adelaide!
Why you may ask? Because we are supporting the Move for Misión México - 20/20/20 Challenge, organised by a charity Kalen was lucky enough to visit and help with during the Covid crisis and is a cause in which we feel strongly about; creating opportunity for education.
What is the 20/20/20 Challenge? - as a Global Family, supporters of Misión México will be covering 20,000 kilometres on foot, bike, in the water, any way we can think of, while working together to raise £20,000, all in honour of their 20th anniversary!
What will the money fund? - Misión Mexico's Education Program, which will support 60 children and young adults through school, university and work training programs in 2021. Education drop out rates are very high in Mexico and corruption plagues a very well funded public education system. Only about 45% of students in Mexico end up finishing secondary school. The Misión Mexico Education Program ensures its children and young adults have the opportunities to accomplish their educational goals. In addition, they have begun two outreach programs to help support and fund the educational needs of kids in it's local community.
Some minor details - We are raising this money through GoFundMe leading up to Misión Mexico´s Big Give campaign that takes place between Dec 1-8. This GoFundMe will end that week and we will send all donations to the Misión Mexico global campaign. The good news? The funds we raise here, will be DOUBLED when sent to the global campaign thanks to some very generous Misión Mexico supporters!
Any donations you can give would be hugely appreciated! We understand these are difficult times for everyone, but the smallest amount of dollars goes a long way in a country like Mexico, and the kids we are trying to support! If you could also share your donation to your social media pages that would also be a fantastic way to raise awareness of this amazing charity and cause!
