Why not combine the benefits of exercise with fundraising for a great cause?

Here are some ideas for you to consider or you can do your own thing – it’s totally up to you!

  • Step up to Slieve Donard
  • Step up to Slieve Donard!

    Bored of lockdown and fancy a new challenge? Why not step up and take part in our Virtual Slieve Donard Challenge! All you have to do is walk up enough stairs to reach the equivalent height of the summit (360 flights / 5390 steps). You can cover the distance by going up the stairs, on and off a single step, or even by tracking steps up and down your garden or driveway.

    Do the #StepUpToSlieveDonard challenge in one day, over a weekend or over a number of weeks – whatever suits you!

    Got a static or road bike and fancy a new challenge? Gear up and take part in our Virtual Malin to Mizen Mileage Challenge. Our challenge is simple: cycle 380 miles (from the most northerly to the most southerly point of Ireland). It’s not a race so you can do this over numerous days or weeks.

    Cycle on the road, in the country or on a static bike. Nominate your friends to get involved too – we promise it will be wheelie fun!
