We always encourage our fantastic fundraisers to seek medical advice before undertaking additional physical activity to ensure they are fit and ready to undertake their challenge. We encourage our fundraisers to reflect, to ensure they have enough support around them, reaching out to those around them for some additional help and support if needed, before undertaking their fundraising journey.
