Step towards a healthier you
1 July to 30 September 2020
Take one million steps over three months.
Get sponsored for every stride.
Walk them. Jog them. Dance them. However you choose to move, from 1 July take at least 10,000 steps a day for three months and you’ll reach your million.
Also this year, we've introduced our half a million step challenge, perfect for those short on time, or who may find taking 10,000 steps a day harder right now.
And if you're ready for a bigger challenge, why not take on 1.7 million steps instead?
Together in just four years we've raised over £1.5 million to support people living with diabetes across the UK. So what are you waiting for? Join the most historic stepping challenge today, and find out what a daily stepping goal can do for you.
You do one million sponsored steps. We transform lives. Together we end the harm caused by diabetes.
Lets go.
