1 million steps for the Amazon

This year, our team is walking for a cause that truly matters — to help restore the Amazon rainforest and support the indigenous Sinchi Warmi community in Ecuador.

Every step we take brings new life to the rainforest we protect together.

The Cause

The Amazon is under threat from deforestation and mining. Together with the V Social Foundation and the Sinchi Warmi community, we are planting native tree species to make the protected forest more resilient.

Every tree helps bring back biodiversity, purify the air, and secure a future for both people and nature.

One Million Steps for the Amazon

Together, we’re walking one million steps to grow hope — raising €2,300 to build a tree nursery that will nurture 200 native trees and strengthen endangered forests in the Amazon.

Our Team Goal

How this works

Why walk to raise funds?

Every kilometer becomes part of a story about solidarity and endurance. Every step we take shows our friends, families, clients, and partners that we don’t just talk about impact, we move for it. It’s about team spirit and easy to share and follow. It also gives supporters a simple way to connect, for example by donating €1 per kilometres or every 1,000 steps.

That story keeps attention on the cause long after the run is over.

Set Your Personal Challenge

To reach our big team goal of 1 million steps, we’d need 100 vMembers walking about 10,000 steps each (roughly 8 km). But we all move differently and that’s the beauty of it!

Set yourself an ambitious personal goal that feels like a challenge for you. Show your friends and family that you’re pushing your limits for a good cause.

If 10,000 steps feels tough? Every step still counts. If 10,000 steps is easy? Go higher and help lift the team!

Together, we’ll reach 1 million steps for the Amazon.

Little Perks to Keep You Moving
