Walk for Charity was created by Chris-Tien
I like to run/walk/hike and often turn those interests into fund-raising efforts. Since so many of those events turned into virtual races with the pandemic, I started running with Run Across America (https://nationwiderun.org/).
As Mike Barks pointed out in the Jedi CAN Facebook page, that particular effort is not applicable to the international community; so he suggested the Charity Miles app (https://charitymiles.org/). I'm finding that the integration with my FitBit through Strava is not as smooth, but I can use the app on my "smart" phone for any GPS-based activity that I want to record for charity.
There is a JediCAN team in Charity Miles if you want to join in and raise some money for your favorite charities.

I do wish that the Red Cross was one of the charities that you can support, but I can donate to them through Amazon Smile.
I am really hoping people will consider joining us. It doesn't cost the walker anything, unlike many of the charity races. You just have to do your cardio workouts as usual.

Flowing through all, there is balance
There is no peace without a passion to create
There is no passion without peace to guide
Knowledge stagnates without the strength to act
Power blinds without the serenity to see
There is freedom in life
There is purpose in death
The force is in all things and I am the force

I had Charity Miles once downloaded on my phone but I didn’t really use it and forgot about it, thanks for the reminder! The JediCAN group sounds like a fun community.
