Event Description
Join F3 GREATER CHICAGO for our 1st annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting RECLAIM13. This year, we will attempt to log 15,000 miles of activity as a group. As sex trafficking is a huge issue all around the world, we have decided to step up and raise awareness in the Chicago area. All participants will track and report their mileage throughout the week. Together, we will log more than 10,000 combined miles of walking, running, cycling, or whatever your favorite activity is!
The goal of the event is to raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual trafficking and exploitation in the YOUR CITY area and around the world. This event is also a fundraiser to raise money for a deserving nonprofit that helps survivors of sex trafficking from all around the country, but is based in Louisville called RECLAIM13. The funds raised through this event will go directly to the restoration of survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation.
ABOUT RECLAIM13 - https://www.reclaim13.org/
Reclaim13's Cherish House is a safe house for trafficked children ages 10-17, providing a secure place where girls are no longer burdened by fear and where they can start to focus on what lies ahead rather than what’s in the past.
As a long-term, trauma informed, residential treatment facility, the house provides physical safety and a loving environment where girls are supported by experienced staff as they gain the skills they need to live a life beyond exploitation. The girls are mentored, learn life skills, and are given educational opportunities that help them shape new lives for themselves.
ABOUT F3 NATION - https://f3nation.com/
F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership. Started in 2011 in Charlotte, North Carolina, F3 is now in 48 states, on 5 continents, with more than 4,205 scheduled workouts a week through the volunteer efforts of men whose lives have been changed by their involvement with the group.
The three Fs in our name stand for Fitness, Fellowship and Faith — the last of which we define as not one specific religion or faith system, but simply a belief in something outside oneself.
Our workouts …
Are free of charge
Are open to all men
Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
End with a Circle of Trust
We welcome men of all fitness levels to our workouts and have no requirement for membership other than that you show up at the appointed time and place and follow what the workout leader (the “Q” in F3 lingo) does.
The F3 Credo is: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.
