The VEIN-GO Challenge is a virtual race and fundraiser hosted by Radiate Naturally. The Exodus Group is a non-profit organization on a mission to empower the shunned and begin healing. Participants and teams from all over the world will be challenged to walk, run, roll, or strut their way up the leaderboard as we bring awareness to the trials of those transitioning out of high-controlled religious organizations.
Many high-control religions will shun or excommunicate those exiled or the organization. In this action, you are cut off from all lifelong family and friends that are within the organization. In addition, you have no friends, family, or resources outside the organization. How is one able to build a new life?
Through this virtual race, we will raise funds and awareness for those in need of assistance once they leave a high-controlled religious organization. All proceeds will go to The Exodus Group, a non-profit, to procure housing, member rescue transport, and create more resources for those in need. We thank you for your support, participation, and contribution to The VEIN-GO Challenge will create a soft landing space for those taking a leap into a new life.
THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!
Special thanks to Jackie MC, William, and Doug Jones

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?
Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.
Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.
What is the campaign registration fee?
Campaign registration fee is the amount that you'll need to pay to enroll in this virtual race. This fee (less transaction charges) will go to the non-profit running this campaign as a donation.
The registration fee along with the funds raised through your individual fundraising page will enable the non-profit to fund various programs and pursue their organization's mission.
How can I create my fundraising page?
Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.
If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.
How do I join a team on this campaign?
While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.
I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
Who can I contact if I need help?
You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
How do I change or switch my team?
If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.
