Event Description
The "Got Your Six Virtual Challenge 2024" is a multi-discipline virtual event hosted by the Health Catalyst Military, Veterans, Families, and Allies Affinity Group (MVF&A). This challenge is aimed at raising awareness and preventing veteran suicide. Participants can walk, run, crawl, or ride to show their support and honor the sacrifices made by those who have served in the military. The term "got your six" is military slang, meaning "got your back," and reflects the camaraderie and support within the military community.
Participants can complete the challenge independently and at their own pace from the comfort of their neighborhood or favorite trail. Log your miles, feet, meters, or inches, and share your experience with our Health Catalyst MVF&A Slack Channel. Our only rule is that it must be in an increment of six (6 miles, 6 KM, 6 feet, 6 inches). The deadline to complete your distance is September 30th. 9/30/2024.
All donations from the event will be donated to K9s For Warriors, dedicated to providing highly-trained service dogs to military veterans who have PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and military sexual trauma. Whether you walk, run, crawl, or ride, your participation will help raise awareness and make a difference in the lives of those who have served our country.
Join us in this virtual challenge and show your support for the brave men and women who have served our country, and work towards preventing veteran suicide and ensuring that every veteran has access to the support and resources they need.
Get out there and make it happen…. We Got Your Six!
