About the Charity: Save the Children believes every child deserves a future.  Their founder, Eglantyne Jebb, saw children dying of starvation and wracked with disease after the end of the First World War. So, in 1919, she launched the Save the Children Fund to raise much-needed funds to end children’s suffering across war-torn Europe.

Today, over 100 years later, they work in the United States and around the world to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes and children are most vulnerable, they are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. They do whatever it takes for children – every day and in times of crisis – transforming their lives and the future we share.

EMERGENCY ALERT from SaveTheChildren.org: “We are gravely concerned for children in Turkey, Syria and around the world who might be caught in the middle of natural disasters, conflict and exposed to injury, hunger and sub-zero temperatures. Save the Children is right now on the ground, in the U.S. and around the world, delivering essential aid.”

About the Charity: Any Soldier Inc. started as a simple family effort to help their son, Army Sergeant Brian Horn, who was one of the 1,000 Soldiers who parachuted into Northern Iraq on March 26th, 2003. They knew his unit, the 173rd Airborne Brigade, was living under very rough conditions, so they were sending Brian care packages as often as they could. The Horns developed the idea for AnySoldier.com after Brian requested more and more care packages be sent so that he could give them to soldiers that were not receiving any. Marty Horn, Brian’s father, created a website that explained the project and offered Brian’s address, including the words “Attn: Any Soldier.” In January 2004, the Horns opened up the project to the other Military branches, and within one year, they went from seven Military contacts distributing “Any Soldier” packages to 3,500. To date, they have served over 1.3 million troops!

About the Charity: Founded in 2010, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is a national non-profit organization founded and headquartered in Rogers, Arkansas. SDIA exists to engage, assist and empower our nation’s “Sheep Dogs” (military veterans, law enforcement, fire & rescue, and EMS personnel) to Get Off The Couch™ and reengage in living a meaningful and productive life.

These heroes have an innate desire to serve and their service gives purpose to their lives; however, after an injury or shift/tour of duty ends, that purpose is often lost. By gathering together Sheep Dogs who have suffered similar traumas & experiences, SDIA has found that the camaraderie and peer support they receive fosters healing and is critical to their overall well-being, which helps prevent suicides in our Veteran and First Responder communities.
Joining SDIA in opportunities for physical activities, camaraderie & healing (Outdoor Adventures), training to transform struggle into strength and posttraumatic growth (Warrior PATHH), and volunteer opportunities for continued service (Disaster Response), a Sheep Dogs’ innate desire to serve is again fulfilled. When Sheep Dogs #GetOffTheCouch together, their attitude and perspective are drastically improved, and many find healing and a renewed sense of purpose.

A portion of the proceeds from this virtual race (at least $5 from each registration) will be donated to Sheep Dog Impact Assistance. For more information or to make a direct contribution, please visit SheepDogIA.org.

About this Virtual Run: Have you watched Squid Game? Rated TV-MA, this South Korean series is NOT for children, but has quickly become Netflix’s most popular show of all time. The series revolves around a contest in which 456 cash-strapped players compete in a variety of children’s games with deadly penalties for the losers. This virtual race is a nod to one of the more interesting games featured in the show, the dalgona candy game. Dalgona is a South Korean honeycomb candy that emerged in the 1950s and was popular with children in the 70s and 80s. In the dalgona candy challenge, players use a needle to carefully carve the dalgona candy without breaking the delicate shape it contains.

All participants in the Dalgona Challenge virtual race will receive a 4″ medal containing the shape of their choice (triangle, square, star, or umbrella), along with a needle. Additional shapes (full medals containing different inserts) are available for purchase at a discounted price, and participants who purchase ALL 4 shapes will receive an exclusive BONUS shape featuring the Virtual Strides “VS” logo for free!

Note: No portion of these medals are edible, and the needle won’t actually carve the PVC insert. Want to make your own dalgona candy so you can take on the dalgona challenge for real? Try one of the following recipes, and good luck!

You can run or walk anytime and anywhere you want to support the cause!

All participants will receive a 3D coronavirus medal, featuring a toilet paper patterned ribbon, an attached silicone keychain containing a 1 fluid ounce bottle of hand sanitizer*, a “Wash your hands, ya filthy animal” button you can attach to your medal ribbon or proudly wear whenever you leave home, and a forehead thermometer you can use to take your temperature.

*Due to USPS shipping restrictions, hand sanitizer bottles will be only be included with orders shipping to USA mailing addresses. International (and military) orders will receive empty hand sanitizer bottles in their keychains.

And yes, that really is a bottle of “Virtual Strides” hand sanitizer you see. We wanted to include this with the medal but had so much trouble finding any, we commissioned a factory to make our own! It’s the real deal too: 75% alcohol, well above the CDC’s guideline of 60% or higher. Because we we were forced to produce THOUSANDS of these little bottles in order to get our hands on ANY, we have decided to sell them as add-ons for participants in this race as well. Additional bottles can be purchased for $4 each (limit 5 per registration), including shipping.

P.S. We are not looking to get rich selling hand sanitizer. We just really wanted to include it (for free) with these medals and would like to try to sell some of the extra thousands of bottles we bought to recoup some of the expense we incurred to get these and to help get it into the hands of those of you who may be unable to find it elsewhere.

**EVERY DOLLAR WILL BE DONATED – AND MATCHED!**

Register Now!

About this Virtual Run: The Bahamas were left absolutely devastated after Hurricane Dorian pummeled the islands as a Category 5 storm for two days, leaving more than 75,000 people across Great Abaco and Grand Bahama homeless and in need of food and water. In the worst-hit parts of the country, up to 90% of buildings were destroyed. There is currently no official estimate of how many people were killed, but unofficial estimates say thousands of people are missing or dead. With broken hearts here at Virtual Strides (based in Melbourne, FL, approximately 150 miles NW of the Bahamas), we wanted to do something to help.

Similar to last year’s Lend a Hand: California Wildfire Relief, we will once again be donating every single dollar raised from this event, this time to Bahamas Hurricane Relief. Yes, that’s right – You pay $25 to register, and we donate all $25 to the cause. But that’s not all! We’ve selected a charity that is matching donations dollar for dollar, meaning your $25 participation in this event will actually raise $50 to help restore lives in the Bahamas!

Participants in this global virtual race will receive a 3″ Lend a Hand finisher medal, a “❤ The Bahamas ❤” silicone bracelet, a digital race bib, and a huge sense of accomplishment from knowing they are making a difference for people in need. You can run or walk anytime and anywhere you want to support the cause.

Please note: This is the same medal design as the one used for our two previous Lend a Hand events, but it will have different ribbon colors and will be accompanied by a different silicone bracelet. This event is much more about helping those in desperate need than it is about the bling, but we wanted to make sure it was clear that the medal itself is the same.

PLEASE SHARE! Because we are covering all expenses related to this event out of pocket, we cannot afford to advertise it heavily. Even if you are unable to participate, please share this event with your friends.

Register Now!

About the Charity: 100% of the GROSS proceeds* from this virtual race will be donated to the One Bahamas Fund, where every donation is further being MATCHED dollar for dollar to help Bahamians impacted by Hurricane Dorian!

A COUPLE OF THANK YOUS: We would like to thank our partners who helped make this event possible…

• -Thank you to Stride Awards for sponsoring the medals
• -Thank you to Plaid Frog for the digital bib design

*Virtual Strides will donate $25 to the One Bahamas Fund for every registration made in this event through 10/14/19 up to a maximum of $50,000 (Registration will be shut down at that time).

About this Virtual Run: Help us raise enough money for Make-A-Wish to grant a couple of wishes for kids diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions by participating in the Shamrock Shaker virtual 5k/10k/Half Marathon. You can run or walk whenever and wherever you want to support the cause! All participants will receive a custom digital race bib and the most unique medal we have ever made, this 4″ clover-shaped maze game. There is a tiny ball enclosed inside the medal, and there are two different ways to solve the maze. Reaching the Pot of Gold at the center of the medal is harder than it looks!

About the Charity: On average, Make-A-Wish grants a wish every 35 minutes. Wishes are more than just nice thing. A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with life-threatening medical condition. Wishes impact everyone involved – wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. Whatever the odds, whatever the obstacles… wishes find a way to make the world better.

A portion of the proceeds from this virtual race (at least $5 from each registration) will be donated to Make-A-Wish. For more information about this charity or to make a direct contribution, please visit Wish.org.
