Minds in Action - a virtual challenge event taking place on the GoJoe app between 23 July to 6 August 2021.

Join one of the x5 teams and get moving. KMs mean points (weighted by activity type to level the playing field). Whichever team gets the most-points, wins! It's free to take part and open to all and all excerise counts - walking, pushing, scooting, running, cycling or swimming!

The teams consist of:- Rutland Cycling, Mind BLMK, CPSL Mind, Northamptonshire Mind and Nottinghamshire Mind

Exercise on your own, but not alone. Use this challenge to take time to enjoy a bit of community/team spirit, to invest in your physical and mental wellbeing and to move with purpose and raise money/awareness for us.

Each team has a Captain and the challenge host and Captain of Rutland Cycling is Dani Rowe MBE - a three times cycling world champion and 2012 Olympic Gold Medallist. As well as taking part in the challenge, Dani and the other captains will be sharing their top tips and rallying all participants.

At Mind BLMK, we are extremely lucky to have the fantastic James Mackeddie as our Team Captain. James, who lives just outside of Milton Keynes, has spent the majority of his childhood and adult life living an outdoor lifestyle, playing football, rugby and taking part in cross country at school, James is now a strong advocate for both running and cycling, and has said the following about his active lifestyle: "As much as there's a competitive streak in me, for me getting involved in exercise feels fun, it means getting outside, moving and embracing the general feeling of being free is the basis for a lot of what I do". James has been a fantastic supporter of Mind BLMK and we are truly grateful to have him as our Team Captain for Minds in Action this year.

GoJoe is about km-based activities, not steps. This is to encourage movement in the form of purposeful movement, rather than tracking steps from the sofa to the fridge. Every mile counts. It doesn't matter whether you're a dog walker or serious athlete - it's all about the team!
