The 5K Challenge

August 26, 2014 · by Joy Williams, Former PHW Regional Coordinator

When most people think of 5K, they think of running. Well, this time, not so much. This 5K challenge has to do with raising awareness of health and faith through driving. And, there is another hiccup. A 5K stands for 5 kilometers or 3.1 miles. However, I really mean 5,000 miles. Not correct in any sense, but c’mon, does it really sound cool to say, 5,000 miles? Or 8,046.72 kilometers?

So, my challenge is to log in 5,000 miles training, speaking, teaching, and sharing on matters of health and faith. This is really no different than what I’ve already been doing; I’m just making this into a fun adventure that can be followed through social media and our website. I’m hoping to take you through some delightful recipes, virtual tours of churches doing amazing work, and some beautiful sites for exercise in our beloved North Carolina.

So what’s the point? To take advantage of speaking at many interesting fall events while engaging with our audience on matters of health and faith. This will also help PHW collect your thoughts on how we can better serve you. In addition, you can join me. Perhaps walk a 5K or donate to a health organization- — who knows what we can accomplish together?

So here’s my email, joy@ncchurches.org. Let’s get started!

About Joy Williams, Former PHW Regional Coordinator

I am passionate about health and faith. Children, families, and elders have my deepest love and concern, and I've cultivated a heart for dance, plants, cooking, water, chilling with great friends, and talking about the matters of the heart. I love the Lord and seek to bring myself and others closer to The King Most High.
