The Conquerer: set yourself a challenge to fundraise for Sudden
Over the past year we’ve rediscovered our love of the great outdoors or taken on a new fitness regime. The Conqueror is an exciting opportunity to challenge yourself and take part in a virtual challenge be it solo or as a team — all while raising funds for Sudden.
What kind of events could you do?
Row the English Channel to running through the Grand Canyon, now you can take on an epic international journey from the safety of your own home and at your own pace. Choose from dozens of adventures and run, walk or cycle (or any distance-based exercise) your way through the virtual fitness challenge, tracking your progress as you go. You can work as an individual or in a team with friends and family based anywhere in the world.
How do I get started?
Sign up to The Conqueror and download their mobile app. You can connect it to any fitness apps or devices and log your distances as you steadily work towards your goal. You will receive postcards and updates along the way and it even uses street view technology to show you where you are in your challenge and the iconic sites along the way.
It’s really simple and straightforward:
- once you’ve signed up to your chosen Conqueror challenge
- set up a fundraising page using JustGiving
- you can also use Facebook (select Brake)
- add all the details about your Conqueror challenge
- ask friends and family to donate to support your efforts
How can a virtual challenge help Sudden?
You could complete a challenge in memory of someone who died suddenly who always dreamed of walking the Inca Trail or the legendary pilgrimage Camino de Santiago. You can even build your own challenge.
Every challenge completed and funds raised will help us to better support people affected by a Sudden and unexpected death. Keep us updated with your endeavours and share photos on social media by tagged us across Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn — you could be the just the inspiration that others need to join in too.
Thank you as always for your support, it really makes a difference.
Location: Anywhere in the world
Registration fee: None for Sudden – there is a charge for signing up to a Conqueror event
