Whether you’re a couch potato who quakes at the idea of running a mile, or a gym bunny looking for a new high – Getfit for Phyllis has a myriad of challenges to get your adrenaline pumping!
From running a half-marathon to trekking the Great Wall of China, you can chose the challenge which best suits you. If you’ve got a head for heights, why not try a sponsored skydive? Think you’re indestructible? Meet your match with the Tough Mudder challenge! Like your wheels? Take to your bike for the London to Paris ride – or head further afield and Cycle Transylvania.
As well as burning off those Christmas calories, you’ll feel the satisfaction of facing a new challenge head on – and beating it! And at the same time you’ll be raising money to help local people who are facing a very different sort of challenge.
Phyllis Tuckwell provides supportive and end of life care to those facing a terminal illness, such as cancer. Every day its staff and volunteers support over 250 patients and relatives – at the Hospice in Farnham and the Beacon Centre in Guildford, and in patients’ own homes. It provides medical care, nursing, therapies, counselling, social work advice and practical support, yet as the NHS/Government only covers 20% of its costs, it has to raise over £15,000 every day to be able to do this.
Make 2016 a year to be proud of. Choose your Getfit for Phyllis challenge and show everyone what you’re made of. Visit our Getfit for Phyllis webpage to see the full range of challenges on offer.
