In May, after our fundraising events were cancelled due to COVID-19, we invited you to take part in ‘Move with MacIntyre’...and what a response we got.
As a result of your dance videos, your jumping challenges and steps taken we’re so proud to share that so far, you have managed to raise over £4,000 and counting for the people we support.
Here are just a few of the ways you got involved.
The Morrissey-O’Keefe family took part in ‘Move with MacIntyre’ by pledging to climb Mount Everest, using just their stairs at home. Taking on 3871 flights of stairs is tough, but they were certainly up for the challenge.
Our Corporate Partners Smarta Healthcare challenged themselves to take on 4 million steps, with two staff members cycling for 30 hours, between 17 May 2020 to 17 June 2020 to raise money for Move with MacIntyre. With over 3 million steps taken so far and over £400 raised, all we can say is....Go Team Smarta!
Washing a car, working out and whipping up a Victoria Sponge are just a few of the challenges undertaken by Iain, a gentleman we support, who took part in 10 challenges raising a FANTASTIC £617.50 for our Move with MacIntyre campaign.
Twins Jack and Freya, with the help of their mum Jess, set themselves a challenge of jumping 5000 times between them on their trampoline at home, raising £260!
We loved seeing Max, a member of our team in Birmingham, dance during her night shifts to action songs. Max’s moves raised over £300
To raise money for the people we support, helping them keep connected to loved ones, Natalie set herself the challenge of walking 500,000 steps in the month of May, raising over £430! .
Jane and her Border Terrier’s Bill and Ted walked a mile a day, a total of 31 miles, to raise money for the people we support.
Video Producer Matt from Storm Videos asked his followers to set him a challenge a day for a week to raise money for the people we support, which resulted in Matt taking on an online ballet class, 'swimming' in his garden under a hose pipe, to a 10K run. Well done Matt!
