Help us climb Everest!
We’ve just launched our latest charity initiative in Manchester, Wokingham and Doncaster! In Doncaster and Wokingham we’re supporting local carers charities in aid of National Carers Week and in Manchester we’ve teamed up with North Manchester General Hospital.
The event will run between 8 June and 27 June, so come down to one of our stores, step for charity on one of our in store cross trainers and help conquer Everest! Strap on your gym shoes and make your contribution to the target of 44,800 steps – enough to take us to the Everest Summit!
For each person who steps up to the challenge and completes a 10 minute stepping session, ready steady store will donate £5 to the chosen local charity. Every stepper will also automatically enter a prize draw to win a hot air balloon ride. Any additional sponsorship from the public is welcome.
National Carers week runs from Monday 8 – Sunday 14 June 2009. It is a time for carers to speak out. Six million carers throughout the UK provide unpaid care for friends, family and loved ones saving the economy a whopping £87 billion each year. Carers Week is a time to recognise the efforts and contribution these people make to our community.
Looking forward to seeing you get sweaty in store!
