Hearts in Motion: 2 Miles a Day (Follow along on TikTok and Instagram: @justchelsiethings)

In October 2016, at just 1 month old, my son Wade underwent 2 heart surgeries in 2 days. By the grace of God, he was out of the hospital by the end of the month and has lived a thriving life ever since. In honor of Wade, I will be running and/or walking at least 2 miles (1 mile for each heart surgery Wade underwent) every day from starting on September 17th all while raising money for The Children's Heart Foundation and documenting my journey on TikTok & Instagram:@justchelsiethings. My goal is to raise $1000. In order to make it more fun and challenging for me, if you donate certain amounts at one time, I will do an added challenge to my run for that day. 

Level 1: Donate up to $50 at once

  • Verbal shoutout on TikTok and Instagram

Level 2: Donate $51 - $149 at once

  • Verbal shoutout on TikTok and Instagram

  • Spin of the Challenge Wheel

Level 3: Donate $150 or more at once

  • Verbal shoutout on TikTok and Instagram
  • You get to choose the challenge from the Challenge Wheel (no spin required)

Challenge Wheel Options

  • 2 miles with no music/podcast/audiobook
  • 2 miles in a costume
  • You pick what music I listen to while running/walking
  • End 2 miles with 50 burpees
  • 2 miles with a pool floatie
  • Add 50 jumping jacks before and after the 2 miles
  • 2 miles in pajamas
  • Challenge wheel immunity - I don't have to do a challenge on the 2 miles :)

Once again, you can follow along on my journey on TikTok & Instagram: @justchelsiethings. I believe that together, we can make this happen. Let's gooooo!!!!
