We are very excited to launch our new team challenge for 2021; Edwards Trust #PassTheBaton: Sat 3rd Sun 4th July.

Gather a team of up to 12 people and choose a team captain and a team name

Register your team on our Just Giving Pass The Baton Campaign page

You can start and finish your challenge at a time that suits you and your team (eg. if you start at 12pm on Sat 3rd July, you will finish by 12pm on Sunday 4th July)

Allocate each hour within a 24 hour period to a team member for their chosen activity (whatever activity suits or challenges them best; running, cycling, skipping, yoga, power walking, climbing the stairs, exercise class we do ask that it is not sleeping!!!) eg. At 9am on Saturday 3rd July, Team Member John starts a one hour run and keeps going until 10am. At 10am John virtually passes the baton to Marie who starts her one hour cycle until 11am, she then passes the virtual baton to team member number 3 and so on

We suggest you plan a schedule/time for each member of your team to take part in their activity within the 24 hour period. You will virtually pass the baton to the next member of your team once each one hour activity slot has completed for the next person to start their activity. You will keep working around the clock for the 24 hours.

Share this Just Giving page with your family, friends and colleagues to raise awareness and sponsorship. We are looking for the winning team to be the one that raises the most money.

Also, as a team if you raise £2,500 in sponsorship by Mon 21st June all team members will receive an Edwards Trust t-shirt to wear whilst doing your challenge! Show the world that you're supporting us (let us know when you have raised your target and we will send out your t-shirts)

Think you can achieve more??? If you can raise over £3,500 as a team then all team members will receive one of our Edwards Trust hoodies and be the talk of the town!

Competitive witty banter between teams on social media is encouraged for some healthy competition!

Photographs of your team completing their challenges is a must!

If you need any support with any of this, please contact lucy.goodway@edwardstrust.org.uk

Good luck in #PassingTheBaton and making a difference to bereaved families across the West Midlands!
