Courage to Caregivers is hosting its first nationwide virtual fundraising event - MOVE WITH COURAGE as part of our Illumination! fundraising event series.

We know that movement of ANY kind is beneficial to your health - not just to your physical health, your mental health as well! There are benefits for your muscles - bones - joints - heart - lungs AND your brain.

Sunday, July 24 is International Self-Care Day and Courage to Caregivers’ 3rd Annual Day of Giving. As caregivers provide support to those they love, it’s also important that they take care of their own health and well-being.

Throughout July we’re encouraging you to JUST MOVE - ANY way you want: walk - run -hike - bike - swim - paddle - dance - wheel - garden - Pilates - yoga - meditate (movement for your mind). Set a movement challenge goal - anything that feels like a challenge to YOU and track it.

Prizes will be available for move goals met and funds raised - thank you for making an inspiring impact to help prevent caregiver burnout.
