2nd Annual LIGHTHOUSE FOR LIFE "From Sea to Shining Sea" Run Across America 5,540 Mile Challenge, by F3 MIDLANDS Race Information

<p>Hey everyone! Please join <a href="https://www.f3midlands.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>F3 Midlands</strong></a> for our 2nd Annual week-long virtual activity challenge! This year we&#39;re aiming to run across America &#34;From Sea to Shining Sea&#34; and log a total of 5,540 miles together as a group. It&#39;s all for a great cause—raising awareness about the serious issue of human trafficking right here in our community.</p> <p>Throughout the week of October 5-11 all participants will track their own miles wherever and however you want to log them. Whether you&#39;re walking, running, cycling, or doing your favorite activity, every mile counts towards our goal!</p> <p>Not only are we spreading awareness, but we&#39;re also fundraising for <strong><a href="https://lighthouseforlife.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lighthouse for Life</a></strong>, a nonprofit in Columbia, SC that supports survivors of human trafficking from our community. The money raised will directly help in their recovery and restoration. Let&#39;s make a difference together!</p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>ABOUT LIGHTHOUSE FOR LIFE</strong></span> - <a href="https://lighthouseforlife.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://lighthouseforlife.org/</a> </p> <p>At Lighthouse for Life, we walk alongside survivors of sex trafficking, helping to support and empower them through their restoration process.</p> <p>Through speaking engagements, presentations, and training, we work to educate communities on what this modern day slavery looks like and equip everyday people to identify, report, and prevent human trafficking.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>ABOUT F3 NATION</strong></span> - <a href="https://f3nation.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://f3nation.com/</a> (for information about locations across the midlands, click here: <a href="https://www.f3midlands.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.f3midlands.com/</a>) </p> <p><strong>F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men.
