Run 4 Restavek 5K

The Restavek Freedom Foundation estimates that 300,000 Haitian children are enslaved by the practice of restavek. Restavek children work as household slaves—cooking food, washing clothes, drawing water from the well, and other tedious tasks. They're not paid, not sent to school, and not treated as a part of the family.

To help draw attention to the problem, the Run 4 Restavek 5K brings runners together to thunder toward the finish line, helping the Restavek Freedom Foundation move toward its goal of ending such modern-day slavery in Haiti. The race kicks off at Volunteer Landing Park by the shore of the Tennessee River, where fish gurgle inaudible encouragement to the runners as they jog along.

The Groupon Guide to: Believing in Yourself

The first step toward accomplishing anything is having the confidence in yourself to take the first step toward accomplishing anything—believing in yourself. No matter what the situation, obliterate doubt with these confidence-boosting affirmations:

  • "I am one with a benevolent universe."
  • "I can do anything as long as I can visualize it and throw a predetermined amount of money at the problem."
  • "Every journey of a thousand footsteps begins with one footstep, followed by thousands more cumulatively brutal footsteps, but the first ones will be comparably painless."
  • "You are a soaring eagle, and your obstacles are lowly, pathetic soaring hawks."
  • "Treat every day like it is your birthday, by which I mean, stop paying for that ice-cream sundae."

What are some daily affirmations to help you believe in yourself? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
