Way to go, Peter! Sorry I missed your birthday, but here's my little contribution to the cause. 

Peter is doing a 24-hour steps challenge on November 22nd, his birthday, to raise money for Ecogenia, a nonprofit in Greece that is focused on preventing natural disasters and empowering youth.  Ecogenia is a proud partner in the European Climate Pact.

We invite you to pledge a per-step or per-mile donation amount.  Peter walks 20,000+ steps on any given day.  On November 22nd he's aiming for a minimum of 30,000 steps but shooting for 60,000 steps.  Here are some examples of how a pledge donation might look:

- $0.01/step = $300-600 total donation
- $5/mile = $75-150 total donation
- If you'll be donating per step or per mile, please contact Peter with your pledge amount before 12.01am on November 22nd.  He'll share at 11.59pm on November 22nd how many total steps he walked that day.  On November 23rd, Peter will let you know what your total donation amount comes to based on your pledge amount and the total steps he walked the day before.
- One-time, pledge-free donations welcome and appreciated.  Click the "Donate" button below to make a donation of any amount now.

Walk for Change: Support Youth-Led Climate Action in Greece

Ecogenia aims to establish Greece's first Climate Corps, empowering youth through civic service to lead climate action.

Ecogenia is a non-profit that was established in Greece in 2021. Its mission is to **mobilize youth through civic service** **to create a resilient and sustainable Greece.** Its vision is to become a national program, where **every young person (18-30)** has the opportunity to complete a paid service term of up to one year**** to **lead local climate action projects** and address community needs across the 13 regions of Greece. Ecogenia is inspired by the core values of action, collaboration, service, resilience, optimism, commitment, and equity.

With your generous support, we aim to equip **the next generation of leaders** with essential skills in disaster management - specifically wildfire prevention and community preparedness. Together, we'll leave an **enduring legacy of resilience,** ensuring that this culturally and environmentally significant site stands tall for generations to come. 

Join us in shaping a future where communities are prepared, our natural treasures are safeguarded, and young minds are empowered to lead the way. Every contribution, big or small, takes us closer to a resilient Greece and a protected Mt. Olympus.**** 

**Together, let's reach new heights and forge a legacy of stewardship.** #PathToOlympus
