A long walk is a good way to keep healthy, but for Emma Reade, it's also a way to help to feed people. Emma, 6, is taking part in the FootSteps Challenge (步数挑战). FareShare, Australia's biggest charity (慈善) kitchen, runs it.
Every year, thousands of Australians don't know where their next meal is coming from. The workers in FareShare are there to help. They call themselves "happy bees". They get surplus (剩余的) food from supermarkets and restaurants and cook it into free, delicious and healthy meals for Australians in need. Also, they raise (筹集) money to help feed people in need by running the FootSteps Challenge.
Participants (参与者) have to walk, run, ride or even swim to meet their goal (目标) of 25 km, 50 km, 100 km or 150 km over 15 days.
Emma hopes to move 100 km to raise money for FareShare. So far, she's finished 19 km, well on the way to meeting her goal of $2000. She wants to get her friends to join her.
"Moving makes you feel happy and helping other people makes you feel happy, too." Emma said. The little girl likes all kinds of moving. Every school day she is walking, running or riding 1 km. Then at the weekend she is doing a lot more. "I feel great about Emma," said her mother Nicole. "We think it's important to try our best to help other people."
