Get Active

Take your first step

No matter your location or fitness level, getting active is a great way to fundraise. Pick a challenge that suits you and fits in with your routine, be that a little every day or a two-week epic journey. Here are some ideas to inspire you:

• Climb the height of Ben Nevis, using only the stairs at home... or the actual mountain! 

• Skip every day for a month 

• Sign up to an existing event such as a half marathon, triathlon or Tough Mudder 

• Take advantage of Edinburgh and East Lothian’s many beaches and set yourself a wild swimming goal 

• Cycle one of the many beautiful routes in Scotland like the North Coast 500 
  
  
• Head to the gym and get sponsorship for your reps 

Remember, the more challenging the task is for you, the more likely people are to donate.
