The Covering House 24,901-Mile Challenge, by F3 Gateway (STL)

Join F3 Gateway (St. Louis) for our 7th annual, week-long virtual activity challenge, benefiting The Covering House. This year, we will attempt to CIRCLE THE GLOBE for TCH... 24,901 miles! We will need your help! All participants will track and report their mileage throughout the week. Together, we will log more than 24,901 combined miles of walking, running, cycling, or whatever your favorite activity is!

The goal of the event is to raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual trafficking and exploitation in the Saint Louis area and around the world. This event is also a fundraiser to raise money for a deserving nonprofit that helps survivors of sex trafficking from all around the country, but is based in St. Louis, MO called The Covering House. The funds raised through this event will go directly to the restoration of survivors of sex trafficking and exploitation.
