Active Desi - 2021 Miles for Greater Good
DESCRIPTION
“Active Desis” is a social group initiated in Charlotte NC, whose mission is to focus on fitness, well-being and active lifestyle for people of South Asian origin living abroad. We are initiating a program called “Miles For Greater Good” to leverage our mission to raise funds and support non-profit health, fitness, and wellness organizations supporting South Asian communities. This year we are planning to contribute the funds to "Miles For Beautiful Smiles'' which in turn will support non-profit organizations namely :
Breast Cancer Hub (BCH) North Carolina
Kiran Inc, North Carolina &
South Asian Heart Center, California.
Under the “Miles For Greater Good” program, we will periodically organize events and challenges that are exercise, fitness or wellness related and contribute to the greater good.
ABOUT THE RACE
Our first event for the year is the "2021 Miles for Greater Good” Virtual Race!!! Join us in this worthy cause with a fun challenge! Form a Team of upto 5 people and cover 2021 miles by the end of December 2021 OR challenge yourself to individually complete 2021 miles by the end of the year. Recruit your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers to choose a challenge and come together safely to make it fun! Miles completed to date in 2021 before registration can be retroactively added towards the goal of 2021!! Make every mile count towards your wellness and towards a greater good!!
The challenge is easier than you think! Since your miles can be added proactively from Jan 2021, a 4-person team can complete this race with an average of less than 1.4 miles per day!!!
For overall wellness the American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity everyday.
In keeping with our mission to
MOVE.MOTIVATE. DO GOOD, we can ‘do good’ for our own wellness and also do good for society.
“Go Alone or Go Together - Just do good” - CHALE CHALO!!
