Step into Summer

Join our first Mix fundraiser. We’re challenging you to move more this summer. We want you to walk 10,000 steps everyday for a month this June. So put your best foot forward start the challenge and accumulate your steps.

On average we walk around 8,000 steps a day, so this will be a walk in the park. Will you be stepping your way to 10,000 by walking, jogging or hiking your way?

You can take on the challenge alone or better yet why not grab a colleague and turn it into a mini office competition.

We’ve got sponsorship forms and fundraising tips to help you along the way as well as fundraising posters to advertise your event.

Tracking your steps

Smartphones

Most smartphones can now track how many steps you take and how far you walk, assuming you carry your phone in your pocket. Apple users have the Health App which will track your steps, running and walking distance as well as how many flights of stairs you’ve climbed. Android users have Google Fit which can also track how many steps you take and how far you walk.

Apps

Most Apple or Android phones have apps to download which will track your progress, these can also be linked to your Fitbit, Garmin and Apple watches if you have one.

Pedometers

Why not go old school a buy a pedometer, you can buy one from any online retailer or on the high street.
