Great idea!
NHS Challenge 2020 - "Do What You Can"
We are responding to the dozens of messages and emails we have had about designing a challenge and medal in order to raise funds towards supporting the NHS and the incredible work they are doing, especially at this challenging time.
It goes without saying that any challenge like this would see 100% of all of the profits being donated and we would work hard to secure extra special discounts from suppliers to donate the maximum amount possible. Much in the same way we did for our Grenfell Tower Challenge, which raised nearly £30,000 for the people impacted and the Fire Fighters Charity.
The medal has been designed totally by your suggestions and incorporates our special thanks to the NHS, but also all Key Workers, no matter what role they play in the pandemic.
The challenge will be simple "Do what you can", just like the NHS and it will take place during one of your "one exercises a day". It will not be restricted by discipline, so walking, running, cycling, wheelchair, pushchair - however and whenever you do this is up to you.
The charity chosen is the NHS Charities Together. Thank you for the help and support with this everyone. We hope to make this the biggest, most participated challenge we have ever done, with your help.
