Walk the Brighterway is back in 2025! The event will run from Friday 14 February to Saturday 21 March. This year we are looking for teams of between 4 and 8 people. The flexibility on numbers means more teams can enter and perhaps more than one team from the same location. The only downside is the smaller teams may have to walk further but that doesn’t matter as the event is all about having fun, shaking off winter blues and losing the last of those extra pounds you may have put on over Christmas and New Year.
The rules for 2025 are simple and as follows………
- Please send your entries to bethany.tregathen@southernhealth.nhs.uk including individual team member names, your team captain plus a team name for the event
- The purpose of Walk the Brighterway is to highlight the work we do in helping your local NHS and raising funds to turn different patient and staff projects into a reality
- We would like to suggest each team member makes a voluntary donation of £5 to take part and you can do so by visiting www.brighterway.org.uk
- Then it is a simple case of logging the number of steps you take each day from the moment you get up to when you go to bed. Last time many of you were recording your steps on your phones and this year we can also supply pedometers for those who need them
- The team captains will then submit weekly totals to Bethany every Monday for the preceding week. Please note Week 1 will be the period Friday 14 – Sunday 23 February. Updated weekly league tables will then be published online during the following week
- The climax of 2025’s event has a difference because the final stage on Saturday 21 March will consist of a sensible walk along a stretch of the South Downs Way accessible to all. We will also celebrate your achievements on the day and round things off with a prizegiving. Family members and friends will be welcome to join us
And that as they say is all there is to it so we would love as many of you as possible to take part, raise money for Brighterway and get ready for Spring and Summer!
