Brum to SKN Challenge!

Join us for the ‘walk of a lifetime’ as we kick off our fundraising drive for ASKaND. We will be challenging everyone to join with us as we attempt to walk the distance of 4054 miles from Birmingham to St Kitts & Nevis!

On Saturday 6th May we will be launching our “Brum to SKN Challenge!” where we will be asking members, as well as anyone else who would like to support us, to spend 12 weeks actively walking and contributing your steps (or mileage!) to our target of 4054 miles. The distance (according to Google Maps!) is the distance from Birmingham to St Kitts & Nevis. We would like as many members as possible to sign up to help us raise much needed funds for ASKaND, through sponsorship.

The idea is that members, would log their steps through their desired fitness app of choice (i.e., Fitbit, Garmin Smart Watch, Apple Watch, Samsung Smart Watch, etc.) or through the downloadable ‘Google Fit’ app on their Android phone and just walk! Each day, they would log their steps either manually or electronically and we will then track our progress to our goal. It will also be a great opportunity for some to consider getting involved in some low-impact exercise on a regular basis as we raise funds for ASKaND.

The funds we raise will be used to plan and deliver activities that will bring our community together and to promote our St Kitts-Nevis heritage and culture to others. To date, the majority of our activities have been free or offered at very little cost to the membership/community. Therefore, we are asking our membership to really support us as we embark on our Brum to SKN Challenge! Together we can make the distance!

PS. If we do cover the 4054 miles within the 12 weeks, we have a stretch goal which would be to cover the distance from St Kitts & Nevis to our furthermost ASKaND member’s home which is Neville Mitcham in Washington DC, USA! So, fingers crossed that we will see Neville soon!
