WHAT IS TREAD ON TRAFFICKING?

 

Originating in the Love146 Boston Task Force, Tread on Trafficking is a virtual event that happens across the globe beginning May 1st, 2011. Those who tread on trafficking put their foot down to raise awareness about child sex slavery and funds to care for survivors and those vulnerable to exploitation. Treaders ask sponsors to support them for the number of miles or hours they spend running, swimming, biking, or working out in some form over the eight week period of May & June. Becoming a treader is really simple, anyone, anywhere can sign up. All proceeds raised by those treading benefit the work of Love146.

 

 

HOW DO I BECOME A TREADER?

 

1. Register here.

2. Set a goal for the total number of miles or hours you’ll walk, bike, swim, etc... between May 1st and June 30th.

3. Find sponsors to pledge to support you financially, either for miles/hours completed, or in one time gifts. 

4. Get your tee and use it to spread the word about your efforts to end child trafficking, pick up one here.

5. Start treading! By yourself, with friends, or a team - with every step you’ll be contributing to the protection and restoration of children.


6. Encourage others to join you! Even after the 8 weeks have begun it's never too late to start fighting injustice.

MORE ABOUT TOP TREADER AWARDS

In 2010, Erica Charis from Boston raised $2,865 for Love146 and had 40 sponsors, which would have made her the prestigious victor in both the Impact and Awareness categories (and although there wasn't a vote, we do think biking 600 miles is pretty darn AWESOME.) Our props and Love to you Erica, for setting the bar! The Impact and Awareness Awards are based simply on numbers. 

 

The AWESOME Award, however, will require a tad more creativity. Are you treading in a unique way? Treading a remarkable distance? That could be good start! For Tread on Trafficking this year if you plan on openin' a big can of AWESOME, you can nominate yourself. Nominations closed on May 31st. Love146 Staff will choose the three top contenders, and allow the community to choose who is the most AWESOME. Voting will close on June 15th.

 

Winners will be announced (and ensuing glory bestowed) on July 1st, 2011.
