MIDLANDS Air Ambulance is hosting its first online Facebook fund-raiser and is encouraging the people of Worcestershire to walk 12,000 steps a day to help raise lifesaving funds.
The Walk4Life Challenge – which will see participants walk 12,000 steps per day for a month to support the average of 12 patients the charity is called out to daily – aims to raise funds to support the charity’s mission to provide critical care to those in need.
The virtual event will run from September 1 to 30 and the daily walks can take place anywhere at any time.
The sponsorship funds raised through the 12,000-steps a day challenge will help fund Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s daily missions, rapidly reaching and treating those in critical need.
People can get involved in the Walk4Life Challenge by registering online through Facebook and tracking their steps daily throughout September.
Once participants have reached £40 in sponsorship, they will receive a free Midlands Air Ambulance Charity supporter t-shirt.
Emma Wood, head of fund-raising and engagement for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive from the communities we serve.
“By participating in the Walk4Life Challenge, you are directly contributing to our ability to respond to emergencies and save lives.
“Every step you take, and every pound you raise, will have a significant impact.”
