The challenge is simple: walk, run, or cycle 25, 50, 75, or 100 miles throughout April, at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits you best. Whether you're looking to get moving, train for an event, take on a personal challenge, or just do something for a great cause—this challenge is for you.
Martin Weaver-Parker, Managing Director of The Yorkshire Broker, explains why this fundraiser is so important:
"My gran, Pauline, spent her final weeks at The Prince of Wales Hospice, and I saw first-hand the incredible care they provide—not just to patients, but to families too. I wanted to give something back, and with the help of friends and colleagues, we’ve created this challenge to encourage people to get active while supporting an amazing cause."
