Yes please, your registration fee helps to cover the cost of putting on the event, and everything you fundraise goes toward helping children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. We’re asking if you can fundraise £70 or more so we can continue to provide much needed support.

Chestnut Tree House supports children like Jacob who has Global Development Delay, his Mum, Elaine explains what the hospice means to them: “I don’t know what life would be like without Chestnut. It would be awful. It would feel like something had been cut out of us. In many ways, they are our lifeline.”

There are plenty of ways you can hit your daily target – rack up the numbers by walking all or part of your commute or school run, taking the stairs instead of the lift at work, going for a family walk at the weekend, or even giving the dog a month of extra walks

Don’t panic if you have an off day or a day off! You could always make the steps up on a nice weekend walk – or make up the numbers across the next week.

We’re proud to be making this event fully accessible for people of all ages and abilities.

• If you’re a wheelchair user we recommend using an odometer, which will track your daily distance – and you can convert this into ‘steps’, 1km = 1250 steps.
• If you don’t think you can manage 7,000 steps a day – get in touch and let us know how you want to adapt the challenge to your ability.
