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.
Want to start stepping now?
The official challenge starts on 1 July, but it's important that we all keep active, whilst we #StayAtHome.
Which is why we've launched the #StepAtHome 30 Minute Challenge - a fun way to get stepping for 30 minutes a day in the build up to the One Million Step Challenge in July. Register today and we'll share #StepAtHome tips and mini-challenges to keep you inspired and your feet moving.
You do one million sponsored steps. We transform lives. Together we end the harm caused by diabetes.
Lets go.
