# Strides for Students: Nanji Foundation Nursing Walk Raises $2,715 in Support of Nursing Education

[Strides for Students: The Nanji Foundation Nursing Walk](https://secure2.convio.net/scoaat/site/TR?fr_id=1180&pg=entry) took place this past weekend, and saw dedicated participants take strides towards supporting nursing education at Seneca. Challengers, motivated by the cause, walked a remarkable 8 kilometers, matching the distance covered by a nurse's during a demanding 12-hour shift.

The challengers successfully raised an impressive $2,715 through their fundraising efforts. This achievement reflects the unwavering support for aspiring nursing students and the appreciation for the invaluable contributions made by nurses in our communities.

Congratulations to the 2023 Strides for Students Challengers! The top three participants from the 2023 challenge are:

The fundraising momentum does not stop here. Supporters and well-wishers are encouraged to [continue making contributions](https://secure2.convio.net/scoaat/site/TR/Events/?pg=informational&fr_id=1180&type=fr_informational&sid=1030) until Sunday, June 25, at 11:59 p.m., in a final push to reach their goal of $5,000 which will unlock an additional $5,000 in matching funds, amplifying the impact of every donation.
