With all the recent snow and cold weather it's hard to imagine that spring will ever arrive but it will and we often have good weather in February so it’s the perfect opportunity to fulfill your new year resolution to get fit and start walking! The Breast Cancer Campaign urges you to walk a step for every person that will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK this year – that’s 46,000 steps – while raising money for research into this disease.
Do this on your own, with friends, colleagues or even walking the dog. Simply ask your friends and family to sponsor you on your walking challenge and help Breast Cancer Campaign take a step closer to beating breast cancer.
Loose Women presenter Lisa Maxwell is an ambassador for STEP ON IT, she said: “I’m very proud to support Breast Cancer Campaign’s STEP ON IT initiative to support the many thousands of people affected by this disease in the UK each year. It’s a simple challenge for everyone who wants to raise money for breast cancer research without having to run a marathon or climb a mountain! So please join me and STEP ON IT while getting fit along the way.”46,000 steps is approximately 23 miles. Ask people to sponsor you for an amount £1 per 1000 steps and then hope they'll be generous!
We are hoping to get lots of the Parenting Without Tears team involved and we'll let you know how much we raise. There's no time limit so you can pace yourself.
Sign up today and Breast Cancer Campaign will send you a free pedometer, hints and tips on how to count your steps and sponsorship forms.
