Fifth Challenge Overcome (Wiggle´s "Own Your Energy"), Fifth Digital Insignia Won, and One Social Challenge Promoted During March 2022

 We continue to inform you about the March 2022 challenges that Akira and I accepted, the digital badges that we received for successfully completing them, and a donation promoted to help the victims of Ukraine through the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Wiggle "Own Your Energy"

March 2022

On March 8, 2022, while continuing to tackle the second STRAVA 200k walk challenge, which began on March 1 and ended on March 31, 2022, we added two new challenges that we would face simultaneously. The first of the two challenges, mentioned in the previous article, was the "Run for Clean Water 2022" challenge, and we overcame it on the same day. The other challenge that began on the same day, the fifth in the sequence of monthly challenges to overcome, was titled "Own Your Energy." This fifth challenge consisted of walking 300 minutes between March 8 and March 28. At 12:57 p.m. on March 9, the next day after the start of the challenge, STRAVA confirmed to us that we had overcome this fifth challenge. We kept on adding kilometers in the second STRAVA challenge while we waited for the start of other challenges that will be mentioned in the next articles.

During the month of March we were also promoting donations for another worthy cause that too was part of a March 2022 challenge. The Ukraine Relief Challenge included an invitation to donate to the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Challenge to Help Ukranian Refugees

March 2022

We continue to support the following statement from STRAVA,

"Like most, we feel anguish and concern about the war in Ukraine and the humanitarian crisis that it generates. For this reason, STRAVA will make a donation to the International Committee of the Red Cross to provide direct help with food, water, blankets, medical and hygiene supplies, as well as first aid training for people affected and displaced. If you have the opportunity, we encourage you to also donate to the Red Cross. Any amount is welcome."

"In times of crisis, sports can seem insignificant. However, we believe in the power of physical activity to unite, inspire and uplift people around the world. Let's join together to support the people of Ukraine."

We also agree with the following prayer,

A PRAYER FOR UKRAINE

O God of peace and justice, We pray for the people of Ukraine today. We beg you for peace and the laying down of arms. We pray for all those who fear tomorrow, May Your Spirit of Comfort draw near to them. We pray for those who have power over war or peace, May they have wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all Your precious Children, In situations of risk and fear, for You to hold and protect them So we pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.

--From Archbishops Justin Welby and Stephen Cottrell
