#Together
Hi i am Charlie Day i live in Wisbech Cambridgeshire and i want to make a difference! Are you with me?
The idea was originally thought of on April the 1st during lockdown, this date is also my birthday :) and like many others who have shared the new experience of a quarantined birthday it didnt get very exciting, no family visits and me peronally no gifts but im so grateful to have received nothing to open or keep myself entertained with because it gave me time to think! here it is.....
So on the 26th of April the UK should be hosting what we consider a hugely inspirational sporting event the 40th anniversary of THE LONDON MARATHON ,this has been postponed until October? Ok but why can't we keep the dream alive for people who have committed 100's of hours training or battled their mental health by using this event as a goal?
Here is my proposal for everyone in the country (hopefully the world) to show support and respect to the professional athletes trying to break their records, the physically impaired legends achieving their goals making zero excuses, to all the people who entered, but the truth is everyone had a personal reason to be there but very importantly to the success of the race all the e CHARITY FUNDRAISERS here is a quote from an ITV report
"The UK sector is facing a £4 billion loss in income as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the National Council for Voluntary Organisations"
Now here is where we can all unite and make a real difference, on the 26th of April 2020 i want us all to support the marathon and be motivated and inspired, so i propose at anytime you can on the day, get in your garden, balcony, up and down the stairs or any means necessary to complete #MYmile (YOUR MILE) in our mission to acheive #OURmarathon, im asking for £1 donation 1 social media share and 1 mile of any exercise or 10-15mins depending on your exercise (run, walk, skip, bike, jump or be the first to do it on a unicycle? Then tag 25 people to acheive #OURmarathon (if this is possible) your 1 mile and £1 will be greatly appreciated (Marathon= 26.2miles (BUT you must not leave the house) no 5k runs outside! #STAYHOME
Reasons to get involved:
If you cant exercise you can just do the social media shares to raise awareness and donate the £1 no pressure
We can spread this positive challenge and raise much needed funds for various sectors of the NHS, we all know how negative and relentless COVID-19 is, so why dont we act in the same way but just spreading love, awareness and raising as much money as we can for the heroes that are on the frontline and one of the uk's best creations THE NHS ❤️
Literally the human race can be involved any one can do this, if you dont do the exercise no problem but a Facebook share is free and i hooe for such a cause we can all spare £1
Have you ever lived in a situation like this? I know the answer is a big NO, so how did the NHS know how to handle this? Well i can tell you.... They simply didn't but they rose to the challenge, they improvised adapted and soon enough from the hard work the harsh lessons and the support from us financially and just as importantly showing them we are in this TOGETHER THEY WILL & WE WILL OVERCOME!
Imagine a over tired mum of 2 nurse who is having her coffee getting ready for her 4th/5th 12hour nightshift? Your £1 donation may not help her personally but i promise if she sees the UK rise up together on 1 day sharing their #MYmile videos or photos soley for the love of OUR NHS that will be enough to make a difference! (but even if we only manage to raise £100 i gaurentee somewhere in the UK a mother, brother, sister, daughter, dad, nan, cousin will be grateful for every single £1 donated, because this means they get at the very least some new quality PPE
All credit to everyone doing challenges either raising money, awareness or simply to motivate and encourage people in this testing part of all our lives. But there is a very special man who has impacted the world in ways i can only dream of CAPTAIN TOM MOORE ❤️
a true inspiration! He deserves all recognition the man impacted the world in 2 of our most historic times as a country (be it one is here at present)
We touch 1 person and in theory potentially infect 2.5 and so on, so if you share this idea through social media you could reach every friend on your platforms then they share it so on so on! and raise more money for the coronavirus cause, no Brainer? I think so ... We can literally make a bigger all be it a much more positive impact than the virus's negative one with 1 share £1 and 1 mile!
Thank you all for reading my story/idea/challenge, i hope we can take this to where it deserves to be, i am counting on literally every individual that sees this to embrace it and that way the spread of this will be unstoppable!
1 small thing can change the world if we all take part right? 1 person! 1 mile! 1 share! Will reach potentially millions of people? I don't think the maths is to hard, lets do it!
