How can I join the Strong Like Rebecca team and what is its purpose?

It’s an easy three-step process that will help us achieve the following goals:

Goal #1

We want to raise $20,000 to assist in Rebecca’s expenses. The "Donate now" button will bring you to her GoFundMe.

Goal #2

United in strength and numbers we will share our love, energy, and encouragement with Rebecca and the Smith family. How can I do this? We ask that you challenge yourself to do something difficult. Something that will take courage and determination to achieve. Ponder something you’ve wanted to accomplish but haven’t made the time or had the grit and determination to do. Pledge to do this in honor of Rebecca. As we embark on our own personal challenge, together we can inspire a magnificent power in becoming Strong Like Rebecca.
