Step Up

Will you Step Up for St Ann's this September? 30 days, your way! How far will you step?

September 1, 2019 - September 30, 2019

Our St Ann’s nurses walk an average of two miles a day when caring for our patients. Can you walk 30 days in their shoes, and take on our virtual challenge?

Dates: 1st – 30th September

Location: Wherever you want!

What is Step Up?

Simply set yourself a target distance to walk – or run – in the month of September and help us by raising as much money as you can in sponsorship. Choose your target distance a day, and do it your way! Perhaps you could try and match our nurses and take on two miles a day for thirty days? Depending on your stride this is approx 4,000 steps a day. Or, you could try and walk the distance equivalent to walking from our Heald Green site, to our Little Hulton site, to our Neil Cliffe site – 40 miles – in a week – that’s approx 6 miles a day.

It’s up to you! After all, it’s your challenge. 30 days your way, pick your distance, put on your shoes, and you’re off!

The staff at The Foundry stepped up in support of our colleague, whose partner was diagnosed with a rare cancer and received exceptional care at St Ann’s. We wanted to help them both and thank St Ann’s for their amazing work. The Foundry
