Why #Move4MS?

Every step, pedal or stroke you take in the Move 4 MS challenge contributes to a collective journey of support and awareness for the 150,000 people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the UK. Here’s why your movement matters:

  1. Raise Awareness: Your movement isn’t just physical; it’s a powerful stride towards understanding and support.
  2. Community Impact: Your participation fuels a community dedicated to positive change, increased research and improved lives for those with MS.
  3. Fundraising for Change: Beyond the steps and kilometres, your participation drives fundraising efforts. Every pound raised contributes to research, support services and initiatives enhancing the quality of life for those with MS.

Achievements

This year we are introducing an achievements table! with both individual and team awards you can reach the top of the table in the following leader boards:

Number of activities completed – the amount of run, walk, swim or cycle activities completed throughout the whole of move 4 MS

Total distance covered – the total distance covered in all activities – to make this challenge as accessible to everyone as possible, running and walking will have a 2x multiplier and swimming will have a 5x multiplier for the achievemnet totals. The multiplier does not change the distance towards the 150,000km total.

Total money fundraised – Although fundraising is not a requirement for Move 4 MS, we want to celebrate those that do! You can set up your enthuse page and fundraise for the whole of your Move 4 MS journey in January!

How Do I Get Involved With Achievements?

1. Individual Achievements –  Join our Strava Club, set your Strava profile as public and start moving!

2. Fundraising Achievements – Share the Move4MS donation link asking friends and family to donate! Make sure they mention your name.

3. Team Achievements – Fill out the teams form below to join or create a team and you will see your team name in the team achievements table once you hit the first goal!

Want to make a difference to those living with MS in the UK, whilst making me suffer penance to the extreme for missing Wednesday morning swim sessions? 
On Sunday 28th January I’ll be taking on a swim challenge for #move4ms, swimming 50m for every £1 donated to biketheukforms through my fundraiser/the linkinbio. If you fancy donating more, for each £10 or above donation I’ll do 50m of fly within the total… for anyone who knows my aversion to long swims/more than 25m fly at a time… all I can say is it’s worth the donation😂
Any donation from £1 upwards made between now and Friday will add to the total up to 10km of total swimming. So please give what you can for this amazing cause and to help create an epic challenge for me!

2024 RECAP

In 2024 we reached 96% of our 130,00km target and with your help we are looking to smash our new target of 150,000km in 2025!

In the first week of January, 186 people were moving to help reach our target, and things did not slow down as the weeks progressed. By the end of January we had 355 participants helping us strive towards the goal.

Avid Sport put in a brilliant team performance covering the most distance as a group of 9,466km. An honourable mention to Uni of Bath in second covering 7099km!

Let us share your journey this year by sending us pictures and making your Strava account public.
