Sign up, set your intention and march on for younger stroke survivors!
March On is a simple way to improve your fitness, add some purpose to your day and raise vital funds to help Different Strokes support thousands of younger stroke survivors. We have designed the challenge to meet you where you are – you can choose to do a step challenge or a seated exercise challenge depending on your mobility.
What is March On?
It has been a long winter but the good news is that spring is just around the corner! This March we have a step challenge to support you to improve your fitness that everyone can get involved in.
Step-by-step you will be working towards your own goals and every pound that you raise will be helping us to support younger stroke survivors to reclaim their lives.
This challenge represents the determination and strength of younger stroke survivors to reclaim their lives. Whether you are taking part as a stroke survivor, a supporter or honouring someone you know, every step counts!
Who Can Take Part?
Everyone!
We ask you to set your own personal challenge. For some, this might be a few steps across the living room. For others, 10,000 steps a day will be a great challenge after months on the sofa bingeing Netflix! If seated exercise is more suitable for you, we invite you to set a target of how many of our seated exercise classes you will complete during the month of March.
This challenge could also involve the whole family – getting some daily exercise is a great way to tire out the kids.
You can choose to set a team goal or take part as an individual.
How Does It Work?
Sign up by clicking the link below and telling us what your challenge will be.
We will send you information on how to set up your fundraising page. There is no minimum amount to raise and we will send everyone who takes part a lovely Different Strokes T shirt!
The funds raised from this challenge will go towards our core services which will continue to keep younger stroke survivors informed, supported, and motivated.
