2021 Greater Washington StepChallenge Winner
We may be small but we are mighty!
No matter where we are at, Italy, Okinawa, Washington, El Paso…. we show up! Why? Because we are family. We have each other’s 6 and we step up when called on.
The team at Military Hearts Matter knew this. We just underestimated how amazing you all are. We will not make that mistake again!
With only a few days notice we put out the call that we had entered the American Heart Association’s Step Challenge.
And you came through in a bigger way than we could have ever imagined.
Our goal was 500,000 steps. Who knew we were dreaming small?
Steppers from around the world joined the event and collected enough steps to walk from Washington, DC to London (read more from AHA)
Collectively MHM stepped 1,923,074!!!
You showed up with your families, with your dogs, and even brought the chickens along.
Here’s a few of the highlights. There were so many that we couldn’t fit them all in.
Now imagine what we can do next year!
That’s 961.537 miles! Let’s keep it up.
Since we wanted to keep your giving spirit going we’ve converted those 1,923,074 steps into 961.537 miles and are sending them over to the The Million Mile Project.
There’s no reason to stop a good thing. After all, the whole point for American Heart Association’s Step Challenge was to get us all walking and moving more. It’s great for your heart, your mood, and your overall health.
So for now, let's keep walking and keep stepping right into the Million Mile Project. It’s great practice for next year because next year we have a 1.923,074 step record to pass.
Together we can do amazing things!
