250 Miles. 250 Years of Freedom. 1 Great Cause.
This summer, I’m getting on my bike for #MilesForTheMission! From now until September 11th, I’m logging 600 miles to honor America’s 250th Anniversary and pay tribute to the brave service members who protect our daily freedoms.
I’m also raising $250 to support the mission. I would be incredibly grateful if you'd consider donating to help me hit my target and give back to those who give so much for us.

250 Miles for the Mission
Big Milestone. Bigger Mission.250 years of independence calls for a 250-mile challenge!
From July 8th to September 11th, we’re launching #MilesForTheMission to honor and support our nation’s service members. Whether you are a casual walker or a seasoned athlete, every single drop of sweat helps us smash our goal.
How you conquer your 250 miles is entirely up to you! You can stick to your favorite sport or mix and match your disciplines to cross the finish line:
Choose Your Move: How to Participate
- Running: Lace up your sneakers for morning jogs, track workouts, or weekend trail runs. Push your limits and watch your progress soar over the weeks.
- Walking: Grab your dog, meet up with friends, or take a peaceful evening stroll. Every step around the neighborhood or on the treadmill brings you closer to the milestone.
- Biking: Hit the open road, crush local trails, or rack up miles on your stationary bike. Cycling is a fantastic way to eat up those miles quickly while enjoying the summer breeze.
- Swimming: Dive into the pool, lake, or ocean. Keep track of your laps and convert that crisp water time into crucial miles for the mission.
3 Simple Steps to Join
- Pledge Your Miles: Dedicate your summer movement to our military heroes by registering and tracking your distance.
- Share the Journey: Post your workout selfies, scenic route photos, or mileage tracker screenshots using #MilesForTheMission to inspire others!
- Raise $250: Rally your friends and family to support your journey. Raising $250 unlocks an official mission gift as a token of our appreciation.
Pro Tip: Break it down! Over the 9-week challenge, 250 miles is just about 27 miles a week—perfect for a mix of weekend bike rides and daily walks or runs.
Help us make every mile count. Let’s move together for those who served!
