Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance has announced the return of its 100 Miles in October Challenge. Now in its second year, the event invites everyone to support the life-saving service by ‘moving’ 100 miles throughout October.
People can walk, run, cycle, swim or hop their way through October. It’s free to sign-up and everyone will receive a complimentary T-shirt once they have activated their fundraising page. Plus, there are exciting rewards and a special medal for those who complete the challenge and meet their fundraising goals. 
Tracy Bartram, DSAA Communications Manager, said: “Last year, we had hundreds of people join our 100 Miles in October Facebook Challenge Group and it became a brilliant hub of engagement between everyone that was taking part.
“There were messages of support for each other and photos uploaded daily of people walking, running, stepping, or cycling their miles throughout the month.
“In total, the event raised an incredible £21,829.03 and we are hoping that this year we can build on that success. With that in mind, we’ve made some enhancements for 2024, including other ways that people can fundraise whilst taking part and rewards to thank those that do.
“We can’t wait to see and engage with our supporters as they smile their way through the month and we will be there every step of the way.”
