ABOUT THE CHALLENGE
This inaugural 70 x 7 Challenge: Walk of Forgiveness is a 70-day virtual walking challenge designed to encourage movement, healing, reflection, and forward progress.
Participants commit to walking 7,000 steps every day for 70 days, while reflecting on the journey of forgiveness and personal growth.
The challenge is presented by Dry and Barren Land, an organization focused on helping people move through difficult seasons toward healing, growth, and renewed purpose.
THE MISSION
The 70 x 7 Challenge: Walk of Forgiveness seeks to raise awareness around spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health and the impact of forgiveness while creating a positive, accessible community experience.
Walking provides a simple daily action that can symbolize choosing to:
Release.
Heal.
Grow.
Move Forward.
The challenge is built around the belief that healing is a journey, and sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply take the next step.
Forgiveness is not a gift that you give to others. It is a gift that you give to yourself.
