1MM "Walk a Mile in their Boots."
To walk in the boots of the Veteran is to attempt to empathize with where they are coming from.
​
Meaning behind 1MM
Our nonprofit 1MM (1 Million Miles) seeks to encourage others to walk in a veteran's boots to understand and empathize with where they're coming from.
​
When we discovered 1MM nonprofit, we realized in the financial world, 1MM represent $1,000,000 dollars. We also realized the Roman numeral M represents 1,000 units, therefore MM represents 1,000 times 1,000 equaling 1 million.
Months later we discovered, a Roman mile is mille passus. Which in Latin literally means “thousand paces”. So, 1MM can also represent 1 million Roman paces. We believe this to be synchronicity.
​
We encourage your daily walk to include picking up some trash. Our goal is for 1 million people to walk 1 mile a day picking up trash in their neighborhood. This equates to 1MM miles of trash being picked up every day.
By doing this walk in a mindful serving manner, we hope this brings you closer to understanding those who served.
