Celebrating every step taken during April’s virtual Run, Walk, Roll Against Bullying

Everyone is invited to register for free to join hundreds of others across the nation in April’s virtual Run, Walk Roll Against Bullying to collectively walk, run, or roll 24,901 miles – the circumference of the earth – throughout the month. Each recorded mile will symbolically move us one step closer to creating a world that is a little kinder, more accepting, and more inclusive for all.

While everyone is working toward this goal throughout the month of April, let’s celebrate every step taken on Go Farther Together Day!

Saturday, April 24, is a day to support each other in making progress toward – or even surpassing! – our goal of circling the world.

On Go Farther Together Day, everyone is encouraged to:

• Record a mile or more!
• Show how you are participating with a post to #GoFartherTogether2021

Do you know an individual or group who took action to make our communities, schools and the web kinder, more accepting and inclusive? If yes, then check out how to nominate them for a Unity Award! This June, we will then celebrate virtually those who have made outstanding contributions to help create a world without bullying.

Join the virtual Run, Walk, Roll Against Bullying during the month of April, and help create a world without bullying by walking, running, rolling, strolling, biking, hiking, or wheeling, either indoors or outdoors. Throughout the month, participants can record miles to contribute to the collective goal of reaching 24,901 miles, the circumference of the earth!

We can go farther together! Ways to support the event include:

• Register for free to participate! Registration, as a team or individual, includes access to log miles, join the Facebook page, share digital race assets to help with your goal, and the opportunity to win prizes!
• Donate or fundraise! While registration for the event is free to allow everyone to participate, donations and fundraising are encouraged and appreciated. Participants can contribute $25, $50, $100, or more. At each level of giving, you’ll be supporting the important work of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center and helping provide free resources to students, families, and educators.
• Purchase event merchandise! (orders open March 1) Order custom-designed t-shirts, bandanas, and wristbands to show everyone that “we can go farther together” to create a world without bullying. Purchase all three items—t-shirt, bandana, and wristband—for a special offer of $30.

WONDER, R.J. Palacio’s New York Times bestseller, is the incredibly inspiring story of Auggie Pullman, a boy with facial differences who enters fifth grade at a mainstream school for the first time. This heartwarming story was made into a movie and is in theaters now! The inspiring take-away message from reading the book or seeing the movie is to always CHOOSE KIND.
