Story

ACTIVE in APRIL is a challenge set for all ages and abilities with a choice of 3 different distances for you to sign up to. Miles can be achieved by walking, running, cycling, skating or even in the comfort of your wheelchair.

So whether you choose, half a mile, one mile, or two miles a day, we will be right behind you every step of the way!

Our aim is to raise much needed awareness for the rare neurological condition Sturge Weber Syndrome which affects approximately 1 in every 20,000 -50,000 individuals. SW UK relies solely on public donations, to enable us to assist the well being of those individuals, their families, friends, helpers and carers by providing information and support. Kind donations made to SW UK have a direct beneficial impact on children and adults affected by Sturge Weber Syndrome.

Register here as a participant and receive a FREE fundraising t shirt, awareness wristband, sponsorship form and daily tracker sheet to keep a track of your distance each day of the month. Additional products can be purchased by visiting the Sturge Weber UK online store

Join our Facebook group connect with others taking part in the challenge. Share your updates, daily progress and personal fundraising pages. Its great way of raising awareness too!

Download a Fitness App, these are great for tracking your steps, miles and routes. Popular apps are Map my Walk and Strava. Strava can connect directly to your JustGiving fundraising page, and automatically share your maps and miles with all your supporters!

And finally.... hit the orange START FUNDRAISING button to create your own personal fundraising page to share with all your supporters! "We have tired to make the next stage easy for you, and have set you a target. To take YOUR challenge one step further simply increase your target.

Each registered participant will be awarded at the end of their challenge with a congratulations certificate, along with a chance to feature on our website
