This June we’re asking you to support Intensive Care Week by stepping into the shoes of an ICU professional and matching the number of steps they take at work in a month.
We asked a few of our members to track and report their step count so you can choose your challenger and get stepping.
Increase your fitness, boost your strength, and enjoy summer come rain or shine whilst feeling connected to nature, friends and loved ones. Earn Intensive Care Society shoelaces and walking kit when you hit fundraising milestones. Connect your Fitbit and Strava through your JustGiving page to log your distances and keep everyone informed.
We’re with you every step of the way, whether you’re taking on the challenge alone or creating a team – everyone is welcome!
Are you ready to step up?

How it works
Step 1: Choose your distance and get registered.
Step 2: Build a team – If you don't want to take on the challenge solo then assemble as many friends, colleagues, neighbours, loved ones and dogs as you can to join you in stepping up to support intensive care.
Step 3: Put on your favourite running or walking shoes and learn how to use your step counter, whether that’s on your phone, mapping the journey online, a pedometer or our favourite, using your smart watch. Then it's time to get those steps in! Head to the gym, go for a run, head out dancing with friends, do whatever you like to get in those steps!
