Why The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge?

The greatest fuel for intolerance is misunderstanding. The GiGiFIT Acceptance Challenge is not just a peer-to-peer fundraiser, it is an opportunity to learn and grow through exposure and understanding. This is the first and most crucial step in creating a truly accepting world!
