Walk around the coast logo

 

LOCATIONS: Liverpool, London, Norwich, Manchester and Leeds

DATES: Monday 1st March to Saturday 6th November 2010

GOAL: 5,581 MILES - Around the coast of England

EQUIPMENT: A TREADMILL

 

WHY: 16,000 people each year are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour  in the UK, and, more people under 40 die from a brain tumour than any other cancer. The aim of this event is to raise awareness of brain tumours amongst the general public and, to raise vital funds to help us continue to provide information and support to brain tumour patients, their families, carers and friends as well as fund research into this devastating disease.


How does the treadmill-a-thon work?

Participants are asked to walk for half an hour on the treadmill. Once you have booked your slot you can start making plans for how you use your time and encourage people to sponsor you!

How you use your half an hour is completely up to you, ideas include:

  • Walk and talk - tell your story to local media as you walk;
  • Fancy dress - as long as it doesn't interfere with your use of the treadmill fancy dress is ok;
  • Relay - ask a couple of friends along to share your slot with you...
