Resilience
in motion
A Journey of 1000 miles begins
with a single step – Lao Tzu
Over 50 days…
Two female explorers will undertake a journey across Nepal’s Great Himalaya Trail, navigating its remote, rugged and at times minimally defined trails. They will span the breadth of one of the planet’s most breathtaking and culturally captivating countries.
Purpose-fulled Run
Resilience in Motion is far more than a run. It is about sharing purpose, collaborating skill sets and cultivating a resilient community through honest storytelling.
We are deeply connected to supporting these powerful two social impact initiatives:
World Vision Australia – through their work in empowering and protecting women and girls from rural parts of Nepal with practical skills and knowledge on gender equality and human rights. The programs will offer protection and lifeskills that help to reduce child marriage, gender based violence and negative customs around menstruation.
Movember
Their work in supporting mens mental health and suicide prevention.
We are supporting these initiatives through direct donations and community campaign initiatives such as:
* 28 Day Grit and Growth Challenge
* Virtual traverse across Nepal (teams or solo)
* [mo]re than a run, November 26th: 10km/30km/60km.
