4 JOIN THE NATION S BILLION CHALLENGE This year, Sport Relief is setting the nation a unique and epic challenge to beat one billion steps a day, every day, from Saturday 17 th until Friday 23 rd March. It s up to you where or when you do your steps: on your way to work, on your weekend run, or perhaps at your aerobics class? You can take part for a single day, or spread the challenge across the week. Just make sure every step counts by tracking them all on the Sport Relief app, which is packed with inspiration, challenges and top tips on fundraising. Download the Sport Relief app now to warm up and get training with your mates, before The Nation s Billion Steps Challenge starts in March. Good luck! I ll never forget that gruelling seven-day cycle, swim and run I did for Sport Relief. Yes, it was immensely tough at the time, but the incredible feeling of achievement far outweighed all the tears, and I still feel it today that s why I keep banging on about it! Well, that was my big fundraising challenge. Now it s over to you, as each one of you is the superstar this year. It s your turn to push yourself as much as you can, and raise money for fantastic causes in The Nation s Billion Steps Challenge. See you on the app. Let s go! 4

5 THE APP Track your steps Create leagues and compete against mates or colleagues Take on celebrity challenges or create your own Links with most fitness trackers Exclusive celebrity workout videos and tips Suitable for wheelchair users Search for the Sport Relief app 5

6 HOW TO GET STEP ON YOUR OWN One of the easiest ways to raise money is to set yourself an ambitious target and get sponsored to reach it. What about 10k over a day, or a marathon across the week? Simply use the Sport Relief app to track your progress and set up a Sport Relief Giving Page so the sponsors start rolling in. STEP WITH OTHERS Find it more fun with friends? Then fundraise as a group and get sponsored to take on an even greater distance conquering London to Brighton or Land s End to John O Groats. Or if you prefer, tag team it all day in a treadmill relay. Either way you can pool all your steps in the Sport Relief app. 6

7 STEP AS A LEAGUE If a bit of competition will pump up your fundraising, have a Step Off with colleagues or mates to see who can do the most steps over the week. Simply set up a stepping league in the app, pick a prize for the winner, and get everyone to pay to take part you could even do it at work to see who can beat the boss. STEP IN CELEBRITIES FOOTSTEPS Up the ante by taking on one of our epic celebrity challenges, and get sponsored to finish it. It s probably a good idea to do one as part of a group, as these all cover ridiculously impressive distances. Both the celebrated old Sport Relief challenges and the inspirational new ones are on the app. 7

8 GET IN YOUR OWN WAY More of a swimmer, cyclist or ping-pong player? Well great, because there are loads of other ways for you to get active and fundraise. We ve given you some solid ideas to follow, but as long as you challenge yourself doing the activity or sport you love to raise money, then that s the main thing. 8

9 OTHER WAYS TO GET HOST A SPORTS MATCH If team sports fuel your fundraising fire, then how about a charity sports match where players pay to enter? Any team game counts, whether it s five-a-side football, boules or even extreme Frisbee. GET CYCLING Grab an exercise bike and get sponsored to cycle an impressive distance, such as London to Paris. Or do it as part of a team, in an all day relay. You could even set up the bike at work, and encourage donations with a collection box. 9

10 DO AN ATHON Whether it s tennis, skipping or Zumba, just take whatever it is you love to do and get sponsored to athon it, by doing it for a long, long time. SWIM AN EPIC DISTANCE Forget rubbing yourself all over with lard. Simply get sponsored to swim the length of the Channel in your local pool, on your own or in a team. 10

19 GUESS JONNIE S How many steps will Jonnie achieve in one day? During the week of Sport Relief, the nation is being challenged to beat one billion steps a day whether they re walking, running or even dancing steps. Guess how many steps Paralympic sprinter Jonnie Peacock will track on the Sport Relief app in one day. The Winner: How to play your sweepstake The Sport Relief sweepstake is a quick and easy way to raise 30. For 2 per go, simply get everyone to write their guess of how many steps Jonnie Peacock will achieve in one day, along with their name, in the boxes above. The person who guesses the number closest to Jonnie s step total, is the winner. They get to keep half the cash, while the rest goes to Sport Relief to help change lives.
