28 Miles in February: Move it for Mental Health
Take on our 28 Miles in February challenge! Run, Walk, Cycle, Wheel, Skip – your choice!
Get your body moving this February
The Department of Health recommends that adults should aim to be active daily, and complete around 2.5 hours of moderate intensity activity a week (about half an hour five times a week). Whether you already do this and more, or you need a little nudge to get there – challenge yourself and raise money for Mental Health UK.
Move It for Mental Health is simple:
What is your activity- running, walking, cycling, something else?
What is the target- 5k run every other day, 50 squats every day, 100 deadlifts every day, a marathon over a month, Lands End to John O’Groats over a month, you get the idea!

The positive impact the group has had on me is huge. I don’t feel so isolated any more. If the support had not been available I would still be facing depression and loneliness, unable to look after myself and over-thinking things.
Raise money and have fun!
Read what some of our fundraisers have to say.
"I enjoyed seeing my fundraising increase on a weekly basis, the events that I organised pushed me out of my comfort zone, I talked to people about Mental Health in a way that I would never have done otherwise."

"Mental Health UK was a friendly partner to have. I received lots of motivational encouragement via email which maybe doesn’t sound like much but knowing people are rooting for you really helps"
