Northie Bear needs your help! They have collected presents for our patients from the North Pole, but now we need your help to bring them home. Northie will be traveling 2,523 miles back to Manchester, so pledge your share of those miles, collect sponsorship, and together let's get Northie Bear home in time for Christmas!
However you choose to complete your miles, your support will allow us to provide a gift for every patient in our care on Christmas Day.
Walk, run, swim or wheel, and make your miles count. Whether that’s swimming half a mile or walking 3.5 miles every day, a larger amount every couple of days or one single activity – you can make this challenge your own! Take part as an individual or join as a group with friends, family or colleagues. We will be here to support you every step of the way.
- Free charity t-shirt and joining pack
- Keep track of your mileage on your tracking poster or log miles online
- Support from the Fundraising Team
- Chance to support patients who are in our care on Christmas Day
Join #TeamNorthCare at Heaton Park parkrun on Saturday 30 November for a leg of ‘Northie’s Race to Christmas’, and cross the finish line with the team who’ve been completing their challenge.
Whether you stroll or sprint the 5k course, it will be a lovely opportunity to get together in-person, meet Northie and some of the charity team and fellow fundraisers, and raise much-needed sponsorship for the Care This Christmas campaign!
Not the challenge for you but would like to support in another way? Sponsor our participants to keep them motivated, or take a look at our Festive Fundraising ideas!
