It’s go time! The “Miles for Meals” challenge<\/strong><\/a> starts now! It’s incredible to see new teams forming and rallying together. This is more than just a challenge, it\u2019s our community-wide effort to support the vital work of the Bruin Community Pantry while boosting our own health and wellness.<\/p>\n

Don’t get left at the starting line! You have until this Sunday, Oct. 5,<\/strong> to register. Joining the movement is as easy as 1-2-go! Here are the steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fundraise\/donate<\/strong>: Visit this page<\/strong><\/a> to make a contribution or set up your own fundraising goal for the pantry. Every dollar makes a difference!<\/li>\n
  2. Join your team<\/strong>: Use these simple instructions<\/strong><\/a> to log in to the Providence wellness platform, where you can create a new team or join an existing one (it’s the same easy system as last year). Once you sync your device, your miles will be tracked automatically!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Remember, every bit of movement counts! Whether you’re walking, running, swimming or dancing, use the step converter tool<\/strong><\/a> to turn all your activity into miles for your team. We’ve also created\u00a0this\u00a0step converter<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>using the information in the PDF for steps conversion. Users can make a copy, then enter the minutes of activity to have the step equivalent calculated.<\/p>\n

    We are so excited to see what we can accomplish together! Go Bruin community!<\/p>\n
