Lucky 13 #Breathtember Step Challenge

Lucky 13 #Breathtember Step Challenge

1st September 2024 ‐ 30th September 2024

Would you like to help people living with pulmonary fibrosis by walking 13,000 steps a day?

Sign up for this year’s Lucky 13 #Breathtember Step Challenge.

September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month – we call it #Breathtember.  Thanks to your support, Breathing Matters is now celebrating its 13th year.

We invite our supporters, friends, and families to walk 13,000 steps each day in September to raise funds and awareness for pulmonary fibrosis. You can participate anytime and anywhere. If 13,000 steps is a little out of your range, how about setting up a team walking an amalgamated 13,000 steps.  Or perhaps 13,000 steps per week or for the whole of September may be your personal target?  It’s your challenge, so it’s your choice.

13,000 steps symbolises our 13 years of dedication to supporting the pulmonary fibrosis community.

Make every #Breathtember step count:

LUCKY STREAK - Help work off that summer excess weight.  A 2019 study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that women who took 4,400 steps per day had lower mortality rates than women who took 2,700 steps per day.

LUCKY PENNY – Set up a Justgiving Page from our home page –  https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/breathingmatters .Collect donations from your family and friends to help motivate you further in your Lucky 13 #Breathtember Step Challenge. 

LUCKY CHARM – Post on X (Twitter) about your challenge using the hashtag #Breathtember to raise much needed awareness of this little known yet fatal disease.

Every supporter will receive a medal on completing the Lucky 13 #Breathtember Step Challenge.  Any supporter who raises more than £130 for pulmonary fibrosis will be entered into a lucky prize draw!
