    Virtual

    Join F3 NoHo for our 1st annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting Elijah Rising. This year, we will attempt to log more than 10,000 miles of activity as a group. As sex trafficking is a huge issue all around the world, we have decided to step up and push back the darkness! All participants will track and report their mileage throughout the week, using a GPS tracking app/device (Apple Watch, Samsung Watch, Strava, MapMyRun, etc). Together, we will log more than 10,000 combined miles of running, walking, cycling, swimming, rucking, bear-crawling or whatever your favorite activity is!

Organiser's description

Not only are we spreading awareness, but we're also fundraising for ELIJAH RISING https://elijahrising.org, a nonprofit in Houston, TX 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 ELIJAH RISING - https://elijahrising.org/

Elijah Rising was founded in 2012 as a prayer gathering that focused on ending sex trafficking in Houston. Across Houston women and girls were being sold for sex, but there was little outcry, so Elijah Rising began hosting Van Tours and showing the public that sex trafficking is happening across our city.

We do more than 36 outreaches a year across the Greater Houston area. We provide women with resources to help navigate a way out of the sex industry.

We serve women who have survived sexual exploitation through compassionate 24/7 care, providing a stable family environment, and healthy therapeutic practices.
