This time next week, I, along with 70 other participants, will be taking part in the Summer Solstice Walking Challenge ☀️
I will be walking for 17+ hours around Witton Park Athletics Track without stopping.
The enormity of walking around in circles for that length of time is quickly dawning on me. But we’ve always known at the studio that our mental health is just as important as our physical health.
I know I’ll find it tough. But even as the laps become repetitive and the hours stretch on, I know it’s only scratching the surface of what many people living with mental health challenges face every single day.
Walking in circles feels like a fitting reminder. For so many, it can feel like moving but getting nowhere, carrying on with work, family and daily life while fighting battles nobody else can see.
That’s why I’m taking part, and why I’m asking our amazing community for a little help 🙏
We’re delighted to be event sponsors 💚 but we’d also like to give something back to everyone taking part.
I’d love to think that between our communities .cic and , we could Pay It Forward a coffee for every participant on the start line.
Even better, let’s help fuel them twice, with a coffee at the start and a late morning caffeine boost to get everyone through those quieter afternoon laps.
In recognition of our Monday £3 coffee offer, every Pay It Forward coffee is just £3.
If you’d like to support the walkers, I’ve included a link in our bio, or please pop into Rebel this week or over the weekend and Pay It Forward. Every coffee purchased will go directly to a participant taking on this incredible challenge.
Beyond that, please come and support myself and the other walkers on the day 🙏🙏
Join us before work, mid morning, for your afternoon stroll or for our final few laps in the evening your support will mean more than you think.
Cheers
Sarah 💚
