Join Steps for Cancer Support Challenge

Take on a powerful double challenge:

Fitness Challenge: as part of a team, or as an individual, walk, run, hike or dance every day for 20 days. Count your steps using a dedicated app, and beat your personal best.
Fundraising Challenge: raise awareness and funds to help support more people affected by cancer, either directly or indirectly.

The double challenge brings together companies, organisations, individuals and communities to raise vital funds for people affected directly or indirectly by cancer, while promoting team spirit and a healthy lifestyle.
