FitSpirit is proud to unveil its latest group of leaders: 31 influential businesswomen from across Quebec, all joining forces for the 4th edition of the FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Challenge, to be held next August 14 and 15. FitSpirit is also happy to confirm the commitment of Sun Life as a corporate partner for the next two years.
The 2021 edition: run, bike or walk
This summer, mothers and daughters will experience a unique event where they can run, walk or ride a total of 20, 30 or 40 km as a team, over the course of the weekend of August 14 and 15. To properly prepare for this challenge that will be held remotely, the FitSpirit team is providing a training program and a series of shorter challenges to help participants build their strength.
The FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Challenge is open to any mothers (or significant maternal figures) and daughters eager to develop a special bond through the achievement of a common goal. Registration is free and participants are strongly encouraged to take part in a fundraiser. The money raised will help FitSpirit to continue to grow so that more young Canadian women can adopt a healthy, active lifestyle as they grow. You can register your team now by visiting fitspirit.ca/challenge.
Role models of infinite inspiration
This year’s group is made up of professional women from a variety of business backgrounds and walks of life. Together, they share a commitment to becoming inspirational role models to help a growing number of young girls discover the countless benefits of physical activity and to help reverse the unfortunate trend of teenage girls dropping out of sports. All of the women agree: their shared passion for physical activity is a driving force that strengthens their leadership and fuels their daily lives. Something they hope they can pass along to the next generation of women.
