Shooting Stars Cycling Challenge

Shooting Stars Cycling Challenge

Join our cycling challenge this Baby Loss Awareness Week and help raise vital funds to support families devastated by the loss of their baby.

A static bike challenge for local gyms, spin classes, businesses, and our children’s hospice community, together we’re aiming to cycle 4,745 miles during 9th-15th October, in memory of the 4,745 babies who sadly die during pregnancy or shortly after birth each year in the UK.

Whether at participating gyms, at the office, at home or here at Russell House, every mile you cycle and pound we raise will help us provide vital midwifery support, counselling and a place for families to spend time with their babies, making precious memories to last a lifetime.

After completing your ride, you can leave a message of support for the families of babies whose lives shone brightly but far too briefly, like shooting stars.

Participating gyms:

• Fourth Quarter Fitness, Halifax
• Oragyms, Shepley, Huddersfield
• Valley Fit Gym, Halifax
• Kirklees Active Leisure
• Village Gyms Leeds South
• Body Evolution Fitness, Huddersfield
• AVL Fitness, Huddersfield
• Pure Gym Thorpe Park, Leeds
• 1Vigor, Halifax

If your gym is interested in taking part in this challenge, please contact us at fundraising@forgetmenotchild.co.uk or call 01484 411 040.

Take part at Russell House

Come along to Russell House on our open day on Saturday 10th October where you’ll be able to hop on our static bike and rack up a few miles before taking a tour of our amazing facilities and meeting some of our team. Who’ll be able to show you just what a difference your cycling efforts make to the families we support.

Do your own thing!

Can’t make it to our open day and not a member of one of our partner gyms? Why not set yourself your own challenge? Whether you jump on an exercise bike at home, cycle to work or get out on your bike with friends or family, every mile really does count. Set your fundraising page up here.
