The Extra Mile is an inclusive, virtual movement event that is utilizing peer-to-peer fundraising to support SickKids Foundation. Through this event, participants will have the opportunity to create personal distance goals, and compete for prizes! Participants can compete by choosing to walk, run, or roll (wheelchair, biking, rollerblading etc.) or a combination of all activities! 

Our event is composed of three phases:

1.    Activate: A month-long period where participants will advertise their fundraising goal to support SickKids Foundation.

2.    Dedicate: A 10-day period where participants will compete virtually by walking, running, or rolling. Participants will track their activity on the Strava platform or manually through our SickKids Foundation fundraising website.

3.    Celebrate: The live virtual event is called the Closing Ceremony. The Closing Ceremony will include guest speakers, an instructor-led yoga session, and prizes! The prizes are based on the highest fundraisers as well as activity. 

The month-long fundraising period will start on June 5^th, which offers the participants enough time to reach the minimum $50 fundraising amount. The 10-day activity challenge will begin on July 5^th, which means participants can start to track their activity on this day. Lastly, the Closing Ceremony will be held on July 15^th, 7:00pm-8:30pm EST, on Hugo Virtual Event Hub. We would like to thank everyone for their support, and we look forward to seeing everyone there!
