As many of you know, I (Naomi) work in Oxfam’s Festival & Events team, and I’ve played a big part in creating this brand-new virtual challenge—so, of course, I had to take part myself!

Mason and I have decided to tackle the challenge together and see how many miles we can rack up throughout March. Our goal is a minimum of 62 miles each, but we’re going to see how far we can get.

While we already go to the gym several days a week, we will be aiming for at least 2 miles a day on top of our normal activity. Our biggest challenge will be staying consistent, especially since working from home means some days I barely step outside.

I will be mostly walking (outside and on the treadmill) and Mason will be doing a mixture of walking, running and playing football.

Why Support Oxfam?

Every day, I see first hand the incredible work Oxfam is doing to fight poverty, climate change, and inequality. Oxfam doesn’t just provide aid - they work in partnership with communities to create lasting, sustainable solutions that empower people to build a better future.

They put women & girls at the heart of everything they do, supporting them in starting businesses, speaking out, and challenging harmful stereotypes.

They are strengthening resilience against changing climates through innovations like drought-resistant seeds, reinforced homes, and new agricultural techniques

They are also working in some of the most difficult places in the world like Gaza, Sudan and the DRC to provide safety for civilians caught up in conflict.
