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.
