SUMMARY:30 walks in 30 days fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:As the clocks change at the end of the month and the days get longer this event encourages people to get active, move more and enjoy the outside will also benefit the specialist palliative care provided by Les Bourgs Hospice.\nThe 30 walks in 30 days challenge is open to individuals or teams of 4 and will run from 1-30th April.\nIndividuals can sign up to walk 10,000 steps or a daily mile for each day of the challenge which supports the Health Improvement Commission’s “Be Active” work stream. Inspiration for walking routes is signposted to the Commission’s ‘walk this way’ campaign, Visit Guernsey’s website, National Trust of Guernsey’s walking routes and the Ruettes Tranquilles’ online guide or app.\nThe team entry (4 people) offers the option to convert steps to mileage to see where the team could get to in the world in 30 days (eg 4 people walking 10,000 steps every day would cover about 600 miles to reach Spain). Alternatively, another team can be challenged to sign up to see who can accrue the most steps during the month (think inter-office or inter-firm rivalry). This is a fantastic opportunity for corporates to link in health and well-being strategies for employees whilst also supporting a local charity.\nThis challenge will help participants rethink how they can fit exercise into their day to build sustainable habits which will hopefully continue after the event has finished. It may help change commuting habits, be a chance to get some ‘me-time’ or provide a focus to catch up with family or friends.\nLiz Stonebridge, Senior Fundraiser at Les Bourgs Hospice says “There are so many physical and mental health benefits to walking but with busy lifestyles we often don’t walk enough. This fundraising challenge aims to reinforce the excellent work of the Health Improvement Commission but also add an element of fun and competitiveness with the new team option.\nWe are hoping that businesses will encourage employees to sign up to align with their health and wellbeing strategies. The Hospice has been overwhelmed with the support from the Everest challenge at the beginning of the year so hopes this event will inspire people to keep walking or offer those who found the Val Des Terres route too much with an alternative option to get involved.\n“We are very grateful to Appleby for their continued support of this event which means that 100% of money raised goes directly to supporting free, specialist care for patients and their loved ones”.\n
