Sport in Mind launches October Challenge “100km your way in 10 days”
Challenge yourself to run, walk or cycle 100km over 10 days and fund vital support to improve the lives of people suffering with mental health problems.
Have you got what it takes to move 100km?
To mark world mental health day on 10th October, Sport in Mind are challenging you to run, walk or cycle the epic distance in only 10 days, starting on October 10th, to not only challenge yourself, but also to change lives.
By taking part in the challenge, you will personally be supporting the recovery of an individual suffering with their mental health by funding their place in our sports and physical activity sessions- people like Sarah.
To date, Sport in Mind has supported the recovery of over 25,000 people with mental health problems through our sport and physical activity programmes. We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we know we still have a big challenge ahead of us- in 2023 alone, there were an estimated 1.2 million people on the waiting list for mental health services, and an average of 18million days were lost to mental health conditions.
We want to ensure that as many people as possible have the support they need – our service reaches people at different points in their recovery journey, supporting them to get active and provides a crucial lifeline to an audience who’s needs are simply not being met elsewhere
We know how powerful movement is for positive mental health- and if you are considering this challenge, we know you do too! The more people who take part, the more people we can support- are you ready for the challenge?!
Let’s get moving, and together we can help transform the nation’s mental health through sport!
– Your £25 entry fee will support the recovery of an individual suffering with mental health problems to access our service.
– Upon entry you will receive a Sport in Mind t shirt to wear with pride during your challenge
– Get moving, log your activity, don’t forget to smile and know you are changing lives
