Thanks so much to everyone who has joined our 30 Day Challenge programme so far. We had our first runner raise £1000 this week, which is amazing. Thank you Aoibheann! You don't have to raise that much, but if you do we're giving you a £150 pair of running shoes in addition to the medal, hoodie and teddy!We'd love you to join us and take on one of our challenges. Immerse yourself in a virtual 5k around Cape Town or a half marathon in Sydney, with Spotify soundtracks, video and photos of where you'll be running, with a course map showing all the cool places you'll head past. We all need some sun at this time of year, even if it is virtual! Find out more here www.sapphirerunningzone.com/ssrvehome

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated and got involved with my fundraising campaign this year for Scoliosis Support & Research 💚💙Look out next year for more exciting events!
We’re excited to share an opportunity to participate in a new study, 'History' (IRAS 322401), focused on scoliosis patients diagnosed over 20 years ago.This research, conducted at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, involves assessments, X-rays, and MRI scans. Participants will receive £50 for expenses.If you or someone you know might be interested, please reach out to nasir.quraishi1@nhs.net for more details. Please only apply if you meet the inclusion criteria.
We often share inspiring fundraising stories centered around running, but there are countless creative ways to raise funds that don’t require physical activity!Maise and her family recently organised a sweet sale on the seafront to raise money for us. They raised an amazing £200 and we're so grateful for their continued support.Maisie also has a dedicated Instagram page to raise awareness of scoliosis and help others going through bracing. She is an inspiration to us and so many others.Check out the Fundraising Guide on our website for an A-Z of ideas or email fundraising@ssr.org.uk for any questions.
We've partnered with River Thames Running who have some great running events happening around London! These include the Hampton Court Half Marathon and Kingston 10k and Half Marathon.Grab an entry on their website and let us know: riverthamesrunning.co.uk/We'll then send you everything you need for your training and fundraising. If you raise £200 we'll refund your entry, if you get to £500 you'll get one of our hoodies and our teddy bear mascot and if you raise £1000 we'll send you a code for a new pair of Saucony, Brooks, Hoka, ON, or New Balance running shoes!Email fundraising@ssr.org.uk to get started.
