Many people will be participating in a unique Mars Planet Foundation fundraiser that kicks off tomorrow (Monday).
The goal of this virtual “Walk Around Mars” fundraiser is to collectively achieve enough miles to make one lap around the surface of planet Mars. Each participant will be asked to log a total of 26.5 miles over six weeks. Participants are also asked to post pictures on social media.
Although registration for this activity has already closed, those who are not walking can donate to the cause by visiting the website of the Mars Planet Foundation.
Proceeds will be used to provide for teacher grants as well as scholarships for students to continue education.
