Nantwich solicitors Hibberts are launching an exercise challenge “The Great Advent Challenge” in aid of The Nantwich Christie Hospital Support Group.
The challenge starts on December 1 and runs until Christmas Eve.
From Wednesday, participants must exercise, either walk, run, cycle, swim or go to the gym – whichever they choose, every day of Advent.
There is one common aim to get fit before Christmas and have some festive fun while raising awareness and funds to support The Christie Hospital.
They will then receive Strava details and there will be prizes for those who spend the most time exercising as well as the greatest distance covered on Strava.
Tara, partner at Hibberts, said: “Christmas is often an indulgent time and at Hibberts we wanted to encourage our colleagues and community to get fit in the run-up to the festivities.
“What better way than to join “The Great Advent Challenge” and exercise every day during advent?
“Christmas is also a time for giving and we are keen to support local charities.
“We have chosen The Nantwich Hospital Support Group due to the excellent work the small committee of volunteers do in raising funds for the Christie Hospital.
“We are delighted to have also chosen them as our charity of the year for 2022.
“There is still time to register if you’re quick!”
The Nantwich Christie Hospital Support Group was set up in 1993 by Sarah Darlington following the treatment of her dad at The Christie in Manchester.
The group raises funds through events and corporate support, and so far have raised more than £450,000 for research projects at the hospital.
Neil Tinsley, Treasurer at The Nantwich Christie Hospital Support Group, said: “We’re very excited that Hibberts Solicitors have chosen to run their Advent challenge to raise funds for our group.
“Events like these are vital to helping The Christie stay at the forefront of research and as a fairly new cyclist, I have already registered for the event, although I might forgo cy-cling for walking given the recent weather.
“We’re also thrilled that Hibberts has chosen to support us next year and we’re looking forward to more events to come!”
