What is The Race to Rescue Haiti?

This race is designed for people who don’t want to wait for someone else to help Haiti. Your goal will be to raise money by getting pledges for simply working out at Matrix Fitness and Spa during a week-long fundraiser. Any type of work out is acceptable. You can ride a stationary bike, run/walk on a treadmill or just do your regular work out, that’s fine too! Athletes, stay-athome moms, senior citizens - everyone at any fitness level can participate. All of the proceeds will go to The Lambi Fund of Haiti, which is helping to distribute food and other basic essentials to survivors. In the long term, The Lambi Fund of Haiti is also committed to helping Haitians become self-sufficient after losing everything to the quake. Corporate sponsorships are available to companies who organize teams to participate or donate money. The Race to Rescue Haiti is an event that is open to anyone who has a passion to help those suffering in Haiti.
