Walking for a cause

Concern Australia will be counting its steps this month as it sets about raising money for at-risk and disadvantaged young people.

The non-for-profit organisation, which works with vulnerable young people, is creating a team for part of March to try and reach a combined one million steps, while raising money.

Concern Australia’s Resolution Re-ignite virtual challenge will take place from March 6-27.

“They say that it takes 21 days to form a habit… So let’s create a habit together and re-ignite our New Years resolutions – all while supporting a great cause,” Concern Australia said.

“No matter your fitness preference, you can make a difference. For 21 days, simply keep track of your workouts however you see fit., then complete your log via the participant portal and we will convert your activity into steps for you.

The Sunshine West-based organisation is encouraging people to support the cause by donating to the cause or even registering as a participant. They’re aiming to raise $!0,000 through the challenge.
