Kicking off on 1 April, national food charity FoodCycle will host its first challenge event with FoodCycle 50 Challenge.
Inviting participants to set a 30-day fitness target around the number 50 – from cycling 50 miles per week to a daily dose of 50 star jumps – to raise vital funds for vulnerable people across the country, the charity are starting to see some great fundraising ideas already.
FoodCycle 50 Challenge Case Study
Meet Lucy Davis, who volunteers with FoodCycle with their weekly check-in and chat call service to help combat loneliness. She, along with her friend Molly, has pledged to run 50k around London dressed as a banana and a pineapple (the banana suit has been a popular choice so far!).
They have been so enthused by FoodCycle 50, they’ve even set up an Instagram page @thefurloughedfruit dedicated solely to the challenge and have already surpassed their fundraising target with over a month to go!
How fundraisers clock up their fifty is up to them. From stomping the pavement for 50 minutes every morning to mastering 50 yoga poses in a month, its open to all fitness levels and creative ideas.
Challenge pledges so far include JP up in Birmingham surfing in a banana suit, Fi in Clacton going 50 minutes of tennis as a strawberry and Lucy in Portsmouth cycling 50 miles per week dressed as a watermelon…
By taking part, participants will be getting active in April while helping FoodCycle provide nutritious meals and friendly conversation to local communities.
