Catholic Charities is on a ‘Mission to Move’

Catholic Charities of Baltimore is launching a campaign to get people moving for a good cause.

“The Mission to Move” is a five-day virtual walk/run that invites participants to set step count goals and track them through a smartphone app called GivHero synced to a fitness tracker. Every time participants reach their goals, their sponsors make contributions to support the outreach of Catholic Charities. 

The event will run Aug. 17-21 and will feature a leaderboard of total steps taken by participants so they can track their total step counts against others.

Each day, Catholic Charities will also provide brief podcast-style interviews with their experts talking about a wide range of topics such as:

• how to talk with your children about drugs;
• what to do if you encounter a person experiencing homelessness;
• how racism is a collective and shared trauma;
• how to plan for happier, healthier later years;
• what to know before you or a loved one moves to a senior care facility;
• the key to housing individuals experiencing homelessness.

Registration requires a smartphone to access (https://givhero.page.link/mission-to-move). It is also accessible via desktop, but won’t register/sync steps if someone signs up that way.
