SET AN ACTIVE CHALLENGE

Is there something you've always wanted to achieve? Maybe do 200 pushups a week for a year or maybe you want to climb Mt Fuji. Look the challenge in the face, believe in yourself and finally commit to doing it! 

As motivation, ask your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. Usually the harder the challenge, the more support you'll drum up.

HOST A SPORTING EVENT

Ready for some healthy competition?

Speak to your local golf club about doing a golf day and consider inviting clients to join in the fun. Look at organising a tennis social, a slam-dunk competition or make up your very own Amazing Race! 

Fundraise by asking everyone to make a donation to take part in this fun-filled day.
