Share A Step

What is Share a Step?

Share a Step for Seniors began in 2018 as The Wesley Community’s first virtual fundraising event, challenging the community to come together to support the Seniors that call Wesley home, as well as their own personal health goals. Since it’s inception, we have virtually traveled more than 4,200 miles, and raised in total more than $41,000 – with a record-breaking year in 2020 with more than $30,000 raised!

How does the event work?

Share a Step is a week-long virtual fitness event where we invite individuals throughout the community to create individual fundraising pages and set a goal of miles they would like to travel. Participants can get their miles in by taking evening walks, getting a run in on their treadmill, or bike rides! There are challenges each year, in 2020 we matched our challenges with the distances of 3 high peaks of the Adirondacks. If one of these challenges does not match a participant’s preferences, we encourage them to set a goal that works for them! As miles are traveled, participants share their efforts with their social circles to fundraise and gain support for the event.
