Fun fitness-based virtual fundraiser, this is our 2nd year doing this! This year we are traversing the length of Mozambique! But you can do it from wherever you are, doing whichever exercise activity you like best. So whether you walk, run, bike, wheelchair, or swim there is something for you! There are also some different prize categories & everything is going in support of the Liberty Project’s new centre offering help, hope, healing, wholeness & job skills to help women in Mozambique!

You can use this to help you keep on track for your new year’s resolutions, beat the winter blues, train for other races or fundraisers like 5ks etc. The software we use has a street view function to actually see more of Mozambique as we make our way up the coast on the Indian Ocean! With each break point including some facts about the country as well as how the Liberty Project is working to address some of the most blatant ongoing issues!
