If you’re looking for motivation to step up your running this summer, then try the Step It Up Challenge in aid of Neurokinex – the UK’s leading specialist spinal cord injury rehabilitation provider.
There’s nothing quite like a distance challenge to get you out of the door – and knowing your effort is going towards safeguarding life-changing rehab for kids and grown-ups living with a spinal cord injury will feel amazing.
The 31-day challenge in August is aiming to raise £20,000 to safeguard its life-changing Step Up Scheme for newly injured adults and children
The challenge is simple. From August 1st-31st, you can work as an individual or in a team to travel the equivalent distance between one or more Neurokinex sites.
Put another way, that’s:
- 65 miles between Neurokinex Gatwick and Neurokinex Hemel Hempstead
- 130 miles between Neurokinex Bristol and Neurokinex Hemel Hempstead
- 135 miles between Neurokinex Bristol and Neurokinex Gatwick.
You can combine other ways to cover the distance as walking, cycling and swimming all count.
