October 10 – October 31
To Donate to Wings for Willie Move-a-thon
Willie Wonka was a beloved part of our herd that we lost to colic in 2021. He was a constant in our herd, keeping everyone together and happy. In his memory we are asking for supporters to ride, walk, run, bike, skate, etc. Each participant will collect sponsors who may donate for each mile or lap completed or give a flat donation. Participants can create teams and wow us with movement goals. All money collected will be used for the healthcare of the herd, a cost which can run at least $40,000 in a year.
Participate by signing up (link here to form). Once you have defined your goal, get sponsors to support you in your efforts.
Check out and sponsor our awesome participants
Participant Julie
I am committing to 30 miles /10 hours of dance. After fracturing my kneecap @ age 20 movement wasn’t the same. 3 joint replacement surgeries and 40 + years later I am back to moving with no pain!
Gluten free diet along with other changes has helped create a life filled with movement. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than raise money for Blue Rider!
Update October 24 – Update on my goals raising money for Blue Rider Stables:
I’ve walked 8 more miles and danced 2 more hours!
Participant Tony
I am committing to 25 hours of travel in my adaptive stroller (powered by mommy walking).
Participant Becky
I am asking to be sponsored for the amount of steps I take on any given day, or the whole three weeks!
