Keep Moving, Warriors

The Finish Line’s in Sight (But Don’t Slow Down Yet!)

By Aaron Altman

The FJMC Wellness Warriors Campaign is in full stride — and while the finish line is coming up on Dec. 13, 2025, there’s still plenty of time to lace up, log in and get moving for men’s wellness.

Whether you’re walking, biking or jogging (or maybe just briskly chasing your kids, grandkids or the ice cream truck), every mile you move brings us closer to a stronger, healthier Jewish community.

This campaign isn’t just about steps — it’s about purpose. Every donation and every personal goal supports FJMC’s men’s health initiatives in partnership with the Obesity Action Coalition, helping to fund educational programs, wellness workshops and mental health outreach for men across North America. Our collective target: $75,000 — and we’re getting there one stride at a time.

🦸‍♂️ Haven’t Joined Yet? There’s Still Time!

If you haven’t signed up, don’t wait another day — it’s quick, easy and meaningful.
Visit  https://fjmc.org/initiatives/wellness-initiative/wellness-warriors-challenge/  to create your personal fundraising page, set your exercise goal and start your Wellness Warrior journey. You’ll be surprised how motivating it feels to turn a morning walk, a spin on the bike or a weekend hike into something that truly matters.

And here’s the secret: you don’t need to be a triathlete (or even find your gym shoes). Every step counts — whether it’s 10 miles or 10 minutes. Plus, when friends and family sponsor your effort, your Fitbit won’t be the only thing lighting up — your inbox will too!

🤝 Already a Warrior? Bring Your “Band of Brothers.”

If you’re already walking, running or riding — thank you! But don’t stop there.
Keep growing your peer-to-peer network by inviting friends, family and fellow FJMC members to sponsor or join your team. Remember, fundraising is contagious — and the more people who join your cause, the more good we can do together.

Encourage your network with humor and heart. Tell them, “I’m walking off the latkes for a cause,” or “Every mile gets us closer to more healthy Jewish men and fewer forgotten gym memberships.” A little levity goes a long way — and your outreach helps men everywhere connect health, purpose, and community.

💪 This Is What Brotherhood Looks Like

The Wellness Warriors Campaign is more than just a fundraiser — it’s a movement. It’s Jewish men showing up for themselves, for one another and for their communities. It’s proof that we can combine fun, friendship and fitness — all while supporting a cause that strengthens body, mind and spirit.

So let’s finish strong. Keep walking, keep pedaling and keep spreading the word. Because when FJMC men move, the whole community moves forward.

Be a Warrior. Move with Purpose. Make Every Mile Count

🏃‍♂️ Keep Moving, Warriors — The Finish Line’s in Sight!
