SUMMARY:Run for a Reason in 2024
DESCRIPTION:Whether you are you a competitive athlete or someone who is thinking about taking on their first road race have you ever considered RUNNING FOR A REASON and picking up the baton for Action Cancer? \nRunning on behalf of Action Cancer will bring with it a whole host of personal benefits from that sense of achievement through completing it or beating you personal best. But ultimately\, running for Action Cancer helps to raise vital funds that will enable us to continue providing our vital support services.  Not only that\, knowing you are running for a good cause could just be the motivation that will help with training and may provide you with that necessary boost to push you across the finish line! \n \nAhead of your chosen race Action Cancer will provide you with a T-shirt and fundraising pack with all the necessary fundraising materials\, such as sponsor forms and collection boxes. The fundraising team will also help to set up online fundraising pages that you can then share via social media. \nFor more information fill out the below form or call Mark Irwin-Watson  on 07580 133752 or email \nmirwin-watson@actioncancer.org.

SUMMARY:50 Miles in May Challenge 2024
DESCRIPTION:Challenge yourself to completing 50 miles throughout the month of May and do it your way! \nThis fundraiser encourages you to cover 50 miles over the 31 days in May – that’s an average of 3\,406 steps or 1.6 miles a day. \nThis is a challenge for ALL abilities! \nIf you are looking to for a way to introduce an exercise routine into your day\, this is the perfect place to start the journey to a healthier you. \nIf you are already quite physically active\, then this is an opportunity to push yourself that little bit further by adding an ADDITIONAL 50 miles to your exercise routine in May. e.g. If you already run 5 miles on a Sunday\, push yourself to 6.6 miles instead; if your daily steps target is 10K per a day then why not challenge yourself to 13\,400? \nEvery mile you clock\, every step you take you will be helping Action Cancer to support local people\, and their families\, affected by a cancer diagnosis. This will also allow you to look after your own health and well-being at the same time. \nOnce you have registered we will send out your very own Action Cancer t-shirt and fundraising pack. \n \nWe have created a Just Giving online donations page which can be linked to your social media pages – just click here: 50 Miles in May Just Giving Page \nAs a thank you Hastings Hotels have provided an over night stay at one of their locations for the top fundraiser of the event! \n \nSo what are you waiting for?
