Sign-up for a 10k step challenge to celebrate 10 years of Rosie’s Trust

To celebrate a decade of caring for people by caring for their pets, Rosie’s Trust is encouraging everyone to get involved in a special anniversary-themed Rosie’s Ramble to raise vital funds.

Rosie’s Trust is inviting supporters, and their four-legged friends, to commit to 10,000 steps a day for one month to raise much-needed funds for the charity’s support services, which keep people facing cancer treatment, mobility issues in older age, or end of life care together with their pets.

On the challenge, Nuala Muldoon, Fundraising and Engagement Lead at Rosie’s Trust, said:

“At Rosie’s Trust, we’re encouraging everyone to get outside for fresh air and exercise while taking on our 10k steps challenge.”

“It’s a chance to get healthy, make memories with your furry friend, and meet other walkers, runners and dog owners.”

“The idea is to commit to walking 10,000 steps every day for one month. Some Ramblers started their challenge in January but for others, it might suit better to do it slightly later in the year. Also, we know that 10k steps a day isn’t achievable for everyone, whether it’s your own fitness levels or health, or due to your pet’s needs, so you can choose to aim for 10k steps a week, or whatever is a realistic goal for you. Every step counts, and everyone is welcome.”

“Let’s walk, ramble, roll or stroll together to finish our tenth anniversary celebrations on a high!”
