Join #TeamCHSF and walk, run or cycle a marathon in May!
Getting involved couldn’t be simpler – take on the distance of a marathon (that’s 26.2 miles) during the month of May.
How can I take part?
- Walk, run or cycle a couple of miles each day during May until you hit the Marathon distance. Feeling brave? tackle it all in one go!
- You can go it alone or you can take on this challenge as a family, or get a team together at work.
- Open a JustGiving page for your challenge, take lots of photos and encourage loved ones to cheer you on by donating to your page.
Josh ran his first marathon for CHSF!
“It was my first marathon – I’d never ran over 17 miles before, so when I got into the 20+ miles on the day it proved really difficult on my legs. But knowing I had the backing from so many people, I couldn’t think about stopping.”
“Being my first fundraiser and raising so much – it’s given me the urge to do more so I hope to do something else in the near future to raise money again. CHSF is a charity close to my heart so it made it even more special for me to complete this run for them.”
To take part in this event, please get started by opening a fundraising page on JustGiving!
