Whether you walk outdoors, on a treadmill, during school runs or daily errands, every step counts.

Why 60 days? Because research shows it takes around two months to build lasting habits. This challenge is about more than fitness. It’s about creating healthier routines and building connection, while supporting your mental and physical wellbeing.

We’re asking all participants to aim to fundraise a minimum of £50. You can do this by sharing the fundraising link with friends, family and colleagues. Every step you take and every pound you raise will help support the Maternity Bereavement Unit at Bedford Hospital and make a lasting difference for local families.

No matter your age, background or fitness level, this challenge is for everyone. Walk solo or in groups, with your children, friends or colleagues, every step brings us closer to a healthier, more united Bedford.
