This challenege aims to raise funds for both Movember men’s health charity and the family of the late David Stafford. The aim is for participants to run, walk, cycle or swim 5 kilometers each day in November.

This challenge is open to everyone and is not exclusive to DFB members. A gofundme site has been set up for participants to send donations to which will be split 50/50 between Movember and David’s family at the end of the challenge.

Share your 5k progress through social media and spread the word.

This challenge offers participants the opportunity to make each 5k a social event and meet up with friends/family or colleagues to get them involved while completing the distance or complete it solo and take time out for themselves and self-focus.

Exercise is a proven mood booster that reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety by releasing brain chemicals, decreasing stress, improving sleep, and boosting self-esteem. Physical activity also enhances brain function, increases energy levels, and can serve as a social outlet. Even short bursts of activity, like a 10-minute walk, can provide mental health benefits, and it's beneficial to gradually increase activity to the recommended 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week.
