This March, St Marys Hospice are challenging people to complete at least 9,000 steps a day from the 1st to 31st to raise funds and support the Hospice. With a suggested sponsorship of £30, people are encouraged to run, walk, climb or dance at least 9,000 steps a day and get active in March.

After such an unpredictable year, this challenge will help people stay motivated and healthy. For some, this campaign will be a challenge so we urge you to include people in your bubble and make it a social experience. For others who are already very active, we encourage you to push yourselves even more and add challenging elements to the task.

It costs the Hospice £9,000 a day to support those who need us, so we are encouraging everyone to complete at least 9,000 steps a day and raise funds for the Hospice. Its a brilliant way to get involved and get moving. We ask that people stay safe and follow the guidelines but its a fantastic opportunity to stay sociable in a time that could be quite isolating. Whether you are on your own, with a friend or with your family, there is something for everyone in this campaign.
