LexisNexis Employee Takes Action Against Sex Trafficking

Christina Ritchie, a LexisNexis employee from St. Louis, Missouri, recently turned her awareness of human trafficking and passion to end modern slavery into action, raising over $800 for the Somaly Mam Foundation through her "Summer Shape Up for a Cause" workout series.

Ritchie, who is also a fitness instructor, put together a four-week, seven class series. Instead of charging a fee for the class, Ritchie asked for a donation of the participant's choice. Those who attended the series got in a great workout while learning about how the Foundation works globally to end modern day slavery. The event was a great way to engage a diverse group in action and fundraising to help combat slavery around the world.

Ritchie has challenged her co-workers at LexisNexis across the country to get involved, suggesting they hold a walk or run and donate the proceeds. If you want to meet this challenge, find out how with PROJECT FUTURES global.

Thank you, Christina, for raising awareness and support, and for encouraging others to do the same!
