Choose your 1-2-5 Challenge

You can choose one or more of our exciting challenge options. We recommend individuals choose one, couples choose two and households try to aim for all five. Not found one you like? We invite you to choose your own special challenges. The bigger the better!

1. Run a race: Run or cycle a half marathon distance over the course of the month (13.1 miles). Completing it as a group? Tag team it and allocate yourselves distances each to cover the whole half-marathon! You can use the free app, Strava, to record this activity!

2. Hike a mountain: Complete a virtual climb up a mountain! You could aim to climb Mount Snowdon in 7,120 steps (475 flights) or go up Mount Blanc with 30,420 steps (2,028 flights). If you are up for a huge household challenge, take on 58,070 steps (3,871 flights) - which is equivalent to hiking up Mount Everest!

3. Host a sponsored video-game-athon. It could be a FIFA tournament, a Mario Kart Grand Prix season, or a Fortnite Battle Royale. Stream your tournament over Twitch and ask for donations as an event entry-fee.

4. Host your own hospice bake-off - A baking competition all about presentation rather than taste. Invite everyone you know to take part by giving a small donation and then judge photographs of their entries, safe in the knowledge you are social distancing. You could even use the polling feature on Instagram to judge the best ones!

5. Host your own virtual tea or coffee morning. Hold a morning get together over Zoom or Skype and catch up with friends and family. Ask everyone joining you to give a suggested donation.
