Story

ANYONE CAN JOIN IN!

This challenge is open to all—individuals, families, and even furry friends. While a marathon may seem like a daunting distance, you can break it down however you like and make it work for you!

STRIDE STREAK

WORKWEEK WARRIOR

- Conquer 1.26m (2 km) five times a week (every workday) within 30 days.

- Achieve 2m (3.2km) three times a week (12 times) within 30 days.

WEEKEND WANDERER

- Accomplish 3 miles (4.9) km twice a week (8 times) within 30 days.

SOLO SURGE

- Complete your marathon in one go!

Make it your own!

Build your marathon into your daily routine— stride to school, stroll on your lunch break, or strut your stuff in a pub crawl, every step counts, and before you know it, you'll make that marathon.

Keep your target achievable!

Raise just £23.50 and your fundraising could pay for a session for a patient with our dedicated exercise and wellbeing specialist.

Whether alleviating pain, regaining mobility, or enhancing overall well-being, our exercise and well-being practitioner tailors personalised exercise programs to individual goals. We offer swift assistance for those experiencing rapid changes in mobility or worsening symptoms.

Your marathon will make a tangible difference to our patients, maintaining or improving their independence, and even contributing to increased energy, reduced fatigue, improved sleep, and enhanced well-being.

Raising £119 could pay for a whole day of exercise and well-being or £425 could pay for a whole week. Whatever you raise it will make a real difference in the lives of people facing progressive life-limiting illnesses and the challenges of bereavement in your local community!
