Toby's Adventure for Whole Kids
Donation protected
My name is Toby Johnson and starting this summer I will be going on a health adventure -- an EXTREME, most EPIC health adventure! In the past few years I’ve found myself becoming sedentary and lazy. I had a choice between getting back into shape and just giving up. I decided on the first option, but why stop there?!
This year I turn 40 and I want to prove that no matter how old one gets, they still can achieve a happy healthy life with the right motivation. I also believe that health education and fitness is needed for future generations. All too often we hear how the U.S. is ranked highest in obesity. Instead of being reactionary about this, why not go on a quest to educate everyone before they are crippled by debilitating diseases such as diabetes and cancer?! My goal for this adventure is to raise a minimum $1,000,000 for the Whole Kids Foundation. The Whole Kids Foundation is a charitable organization that provides children with access to healthy food choices through partnerships with schools, educators and organizations. They do things like get salad bars in schools, provide grants so schools can start garden programs, and provide nutrition education for teachers and faculty. All in all it is a great foundation with a great mission!
To achieve this mission, I will be participating in numerous Obstacle Course Races (OCR’s) across the country. This will be an epic road trip that will take me to 80 cities over 125 days, with 20,000 miles of driving. Above all, I will be participating in 33 events and running at minimum approximately 450 miles!
Although I’m going to be doing my part to save as much money as I can for this trip I need help and support. The funds will be going toward my expenses for the trip. Things such as gas, food, possibly lodging and various other things like health insurance, and emergencies. I feel that my goal is an easy one considering the greater good that I would like to achieve. If I receive more backing than I need then after all is said and done I will donate the rest to the Whole Kids Foundation. I want to make a change in the world and I feel this is one way that I can do my part. Something crazy and a bit extreme to draw attention to the growing obesity epidemic.
My first event is the weekend of July 15-16th. I’m hoping to have the support for my trip by that weekend. I would be extremely grateful for any and all support I receive. The closer I get to my start date the more excited I get. I have a purpose with this mission. I am drawing attention to a great foundation and I’m helping to change the lives of future generations for the better!
I will also be starting a separate Crowdrise support page that will support the Whole Kids Foundation during my trip. Everyone will have multiple ways in which they can support kids and eating healthy. Please help me make a change with our children and their future. Thank you for your support.
