Wessex Cancer Trust is asking people to turn their steps into support this June by taking part in its virtual Walk for Hope.
For its 6th annual walking event, the charity is inviting participants to choose their own route, date and distance and ask friends and family to sponsor their steps and raise money to support local people affected by cancer.
Event organiser, Lauren Flitcroft, says:
“Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.
“What’s more, walking and being in nature can make us feel so much better. You can cover your target distance on one day or break it up into more manageable chunks throughout June. Wherever you choose to walk and how far you cover, we’d love to see lots of people come together virtually in June to do their bit for local people who really support at a particularly tough time in their lives.”
When you sign up, you’ll get some recommended routes if you need inspiration, fundraising tips and walking guides. You’ll also get a medal once you’ve achieved your steps.
Tickets are £15 for an adult and £10 for under 16s, and there’s a fundraising target of £100.
