Click on the Sponsor This Mission button on the Overview page of the mission, or donate through this page and write “Sponsoring the Walking Challenge” in the Comment section.

The challenge will begin on 26 April and ends on 17 May. You can join anytime as it is an experience, not a competition (unless you want it to be!).
Have fun, make it a social activity, walk with friends, chat, debate, solve the world’s problems! – or at least you’re making a difference to refugee communities through participating.

This Virtual Walking Challenge follows a treacherous route faced by refugees, consisting of border crossings, fear of armed groups, passing through transit points and reaching refugee camps, in an effort to seek asylum, but also passes through areas of natural beauty and wonder. You can walk, run, swim or bike a portion of the path, linking your health app to the Virtual Mission website. En route you will encounter some of the scenes that the refugees may have witnessed along the way – by way of a postcard sent to your inbox every time you hit a milestone.

By participating in this challenge, you will be contributing to projects that REI supports, empowering displaced persons around the world to have a more normal life and a brighter future.
