RESUL "March " 2022 - Team Springboks Pro Patria

Information obtained from website  www.wvvoice.org/resul WVV Unimote Event Team Springboks Pro Patria - RESUL "March" 2022 26th May - 29th May 2022 Remote Co-cordinated Event

This is a WVV UNIMOTE Event (Unifying Remote Event).

We are collaborating with SAMVO in supporting and participating in the Finnish RESUL Remote "March" while creating awareness for military veterans, their families and all victims of conflict and war.

Uniting to inspire peaceful positive change.  Participate from anywhere!

Each year World Veterans' Voice hosts and supports the Walk for Peace on International Peace Day - 21st September 2022. We walk in honour of our fallen (in all wars, operations, struggles and conflict), for those that returned home, for their families and all victims of conflict and war. We also convey our appreciation to those that are still serving today across the globe. We unite to be heard – to call for positive solutions to be actively sought, discussed and implemented to achieve a peaceful future for all.

This year, as the global pandemic is disrupting physical events and gatherings, we decided to promote, coordinate and participate in a collection of remote events across the globe instead of one physical event. We call these WVV UNIMOTE Events -Unifying Remote Events that create awareness around aligned, like-minded topics or issues to inspire positive solution-driven discussions, exploration and policy-making actions.

As one of our first WVV UNIMOTE Events - we have chosen to collaborate with SAMVO (South African Military Veteran Organisation) to support and participate in the Finnish RESUL Remote March 2022 (26th May - 29th May). Many of us have struggled to maintain our normal levels of movement or mobility due to the Corona Virus Pandemic.

The aim of the RESUL Four Day Remote March is to motivate ordinary people to move in the middle of their day jobs or holiday free time. It is a 4 day fitness challenge. You can march, walk or run anywhere in the world remotely for 1 – 4 days either alone, with family, friends or your organisation.

The participation is free. Just participate in the challenge, share it on your social media profiles, the WVVoice social pages and the RESUL March pages. Then upload your results to the RESUL March Webpage.

Note, this is not a competition. It is a collective event to promote health and well being, while creating awareness through sharing your story in your local area and on digital platforms.

The WVVoice will be highlighting the topic of injury and disability obtained while serving or on duty. We are also highlighting neck and back injuries of high performance or professional athletes, like national sports persons.

We have created an International South African Team called the Springboks Pro Patria Team on the Finnish RESUL March website. We invite all South Africans across the globe to join that team and share their event! This team will be marching in honour of our fallen in all wars, operations and struggles, those that returned home as well as their families who still suffer today. It also includes our appreciation to those that are still serving today in both the SANDF and SAPS.

We need to be united in ensuring peace - together let us inform our politicians and those in power, we do not stand for wars and conflicts. Let us march together, wherever we are in the world, united for peace.
