Why Your Steps Matter
By taking part in the Walk 100 Miles in June fundraising challenge, you’ll be helping us fund projects across NHS Lothian that enhance patient care, support our dedicated NHS colleagues, and improve the overall patient experience.
Your support can help us fund specialist equipment, workshops and events that improve wellbeing and aid recovery, comfortable environments for patients, families and visitors, and staff wellbeing initiatives.
Walk at Your Own Pace, In Your Own Time
We know that life is busy and getting those daily miles in might be tricky. That’s why the Walk 100 Miles in June challenge is designed to be flexible and accessible for everyone.
- Your Pace: Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll or a brisk power walk, every mile counts.
- Your Time: Fit your walks into your daily routine. Walk during your lunch break, in the evenings, or on weekends – whatever suits you best.
- Your Location: Explore your local parks, scenic trails, or even your own neighbourhood. The choice is yours!
- Track Your Progress: Use a fitness tracker or app to monitor your miles and stay motivated. Connecting your JustGiving to Strava will also allow people to see your progress.
With your support, we can provide people across Edinburgh and the Lothians with access to specialist equipment, wellbeing workshops, create welcoming spaces and invest in initiatives that support our dedicated NHS Lothian staff.
