☀️ KOURAGE QUEST WEEK 4: HEAT WAVES OF HOPE ☀️

We’ve balanced, lifted, and stretched… and now it’s time to bring the heat! 🔥

This week is all about moving forward one step at a time and celebrating the strength that’s been building all month long. It’s officially Walk-A-Thon Week, and we’re walking with purpose!

✅ Movement Challenge: Log your walking miles (or wheeled movement, treadmill time, etc.) each day. Every center has a goal, and every step gets us closer.
🎯 Bonus Goal: Attend your center’s official Walk-A-Thon event and earn an extra .5 miles toward your total!
💌 Impact Goal: Ask a friend or family member to match your movement with a donation. $1 per mile, $5 for showing up, or any amount that helps spread the hope.

👇Watch this week’s KNN video below for motivation, miles, and a few laughs as we wrap up the Quest with energy and heart.

You’ve made it through the wind, the storm, the clouds, and now, together, we walk into the sunshine.

Unstoppable Kourage. Brighter Days Ahead. 💛

⛅️ KOURAGE QUEST WEEK 3: STRETCH IT OUT ⛅️

Yes, we’re posting a day late… but only because we were busy stretching. 🧘‍♂️😉

After two powerful weeks of balancing winds and strength-building storms, it’s time to breathe deep, slow down, and stretch it out.

This week’s forecast?
Partly Cloudy with a Strong Chance of Stretching

✅ Movement Challenge: Dedicate at least 5 minutes each day to focused stretching. Already a stretching pro? Add 5 more and deepen your routine. Your body will thank you.

👇 Watch this week’s KNN video below to catch the forecast, follow along with stretch demos, and see what happens when our weatherman hits snooze one too many times.

When we move with purpose, we stretch more than muscles. We stretch our reach, our compassion, and our impact.

Together, we’re forecasting: Unstoppable Kourage. Brighter Days Ahead. 💪💛
