50K Challenge 2018

Our 50K Challenge ran from April to November 2018.

Participants registered via or website and received a free t-shirt, plus a pedometer to record their activity.

It focused on encouraging people with a stoma to be active on a regular basis, thus encouraging  behaviour change, and also portrayed  a positive image of ostomates,  striving together to reach a target.

We’ve had some amazing people taking part in so many different types of activity. Dog walking, swimming, climbing, and hiking, to Tough mudder events, paper rounds, cycle challenges, and half marathons.

We achieved over 67,000 kilometers and had 356 participants. We also raised a significant amount which will go to support our Active Ostomates project.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part.
