Every Step Counts May 2-8, 2021
Take 26,000 steps for 26,000 kids!
Why 26,000 steps?
1 in 5 children/youth have a treatable mental health condition and with 130,000 children and youth living in Waterloo Region, that means about 26,000 need help. AND the pandemic has increased those numbers!
So this Children's Mental Health Week, your steps will count more than ever.
Lutherwood's 2021 Steps for Kids will take place May 2-8.
Join us from your local neighbourhoods, parks or trails to show your support and raise funds and awareness for children's mental health. Funds raised through this event will directly support programming at Lutherwood's Children Mental Health Centre and Safe Haven Youth Services.
Register as an individual or create a team to maximize the fun! Teams can participate together or apart and combine their distances to complete the challenge – whatever works best for you!
Participate however you prefer! – walk, run, wheel, or row your boat!
Choose your challenge: The 2021 Steps for Kids has three different challenges to pick from -choose one or do all three! (Did you know that 26,000 steps are approximately 20 kilometers?) The goal is distance, not speed – take your time, you have a whole week!
Shop: there are more ways than one to show your support for Steps for Kids!
Click to visit our STEPS STORE - where you can purchase a lawn sign or a 26,000 Steps T-shirt to showcase your support for children's mental health!
Don’t forget to upload your progress as you go so your efforts will be reflected on our map below and you can show everyone all of your hard work! You will even receive badges of progress as you move through your challenge.
