Help others with a donation
Ritchie challenged leagues across the city to get moving this winter, but it issued an extra challenge to its own members: raise $2,000 for charity.
If you have the financial means to make a donation, consider these organizations that support the mental health of our neighbours. We’ve set up a donation page on CanadaHelps for these three Edmonton charities:
i-Human Youth Society
The Mustard Seed (Southside Shelter)
Momentum Walk-in Counselling
Ritchie logs 3,620 km last week, but still trails Hazeldean
Leagues are to report their results weekly by Sunday night. The above is a screenshot taken Wednesday morning, March 23, 2021. The most up-to-date results see the Results page.
Down to the wire, Ritchie and Hazeldean together have logged twice as many kilometres as the 16 other leagues combined in the three-month Move for Mental Health Challenge.
Now, with just one week to go, here’s where things stand:
Hazeldean is in the lead, with 36,951 km.
Ritchie is in second place, with 32,379 km. This DESPITE having logged 3,620 km last week alone!
Together, the 18 leagues participating have logged 143,359 km. (Some league have combined their efforts under one name in the official records).
All are succeeding in fighting winter’s doldrums and pandemic isolation.
The Move for Mental Health Challenge is into its final week. It ends on March 31.
