Spring in your step challenge

 The Alzheimer Society of Ireland has been in touch to say that they are running a fundraising campaign to help the 64,000 people in Ireland currently living with dementia. 

The challenge is to walk or run 64km, 64,000 steps or 64 laps during the month of February. You can even come up with your own ‘64’ based challenge if you wish. Follow this link for further information and to register. The registration fee is €20, although you are more than than welcome to fundraise more if you like.

You simply need to record your daily runs or walks over the month of February for the challenge and share the results when you complete the challenge.
