Marathon Month
Grant was determined to set a challenge in lockdown to help with his MS. ‘I was walking and I thought 'I could do a million steps' and I said to my wife 'I’m gonna do this'. I did a million steps in 59 days. This is from a standing start because I didn’t like walking, I hated it. Now I feel great.’
By sharing his progress with family and friends, Grant managed to raise a fantastic £750 and covered the distance of a whole marathon!
Now it's your turn, take inspiration from Grant and tackle a marathon in a month. You can do it anywhere, anytime, and it will get you out of the house! You’ll be able to track your progress on your fundraising page by connecting to Strava, Fitbit or uploading your activity manually.
Marathon Month Team Challenge
Take on Marathon Month as a team and divide the distance between you. You can do it as a relay or altogether.
Our team function allows you to add others to your challenge, fundraise and track distance together and easily share your progress.

Organise a Charity Football match
Charity football matches are becoming one of the most popular events to organise, and we love them!
The size of the match is up to you. You can do 5-a-side with mates, organise a tournament, team up with a club/company, and take over a stadium!
Whatever the size, we have a guide to everything you need to organise your Charity Football Match:
What Alex did Against MS
“Each year a small team of us dedicate our time to fundraise for good causes. This year we chose to support MSIF because we also want to see a world without MS. My partner was diagnosed with MS recently and like so many affected by this disease we have been through all the ups and downs of diagnosis and then coming to terms with this condition. This year it was personal and every mile counted even more. We are proud to be able to raise some funds for MSIF's critical work in bringing together research, care and patient groups globally to improve lives affected by MS and ultimately reduce its impact”
