So far, we have raised over £30,000 for an amazing cause.
Maggie’s is a charity that provides free expert care and support in centres across the UK and online.
A little bit more about Maggie's ... the centres offer free practical, emotional and social support to anyone affected by cancer and their families and friends. Help is offered to anyone with any type of cancer and people can drop-in any time. The Centres are warm, welcoming places for people to meet others or sit quietly with a cup of tea, but also offers the support of a full team of qualified professionals to help people find their way through the difficult cancer journey.
Maggie's Manchester alone receives over 13,000 visits a year from people facing cancer and their loved ones, which is why it is so important to support Maggie's so people effected by cancer can continue to get the help and support they need. A few of us have visited the Centre in Manchester and it's a genuinely special place! Knowing the work they do, it is a real passion to help them in any small way we can.
We are fortunate to be supported by a number of national and local businesses helping the 50in50 squad with things like advice and discounted goods & services. Thanks all!
Signing up is easy. Just provide your details below and you are good to go. And it’s free to join. Our aim is that each person can raise at least £100, but there is no formal commitment, just a goal we can all aim for.
We provide discounted access to our Head Coach, Nicky McBurney’s online fitness group to help you along the way for easy access to daily workouts.
We will not use your details for any promotional purposes. Only to keep you up to date with the challenge and provide support locally dependent on the location of the squad.
Over 50 Prescient colleagues across 9 offices in 5 countries took part & quickly became a hugely supportive core of the 20204 50in50 squad. And today the business made a significant donation to Maggie's Centres too. With all work we do partnering with our clients in oncology, this is a very meaningful contribution. And we are in discussions on how the business can support the 2025 Challenge too!
The total is in .. the money raised by the 2024 50in50 campaign has topped £17,000, We are humbled and grateful for the support of the 50in50 community. Robin Muir at Maggie’s said: “We’re absolutely delighted with 50in50’s support. Maggie’s Manchester relies on donations and fundraising efforts like this allow us to continue offer the best support possible to people with cancer, their family and friends.”
Our PT and Head Coach, one of the 50in50 OGs, Nicky McBurney, has signed up to the 4th Edition of the Challenge. As ever, she will bring a combination of energy, positivity, advice and guidance to the squad (as well as inflicting a little bit of pain!). Nicky is such an integral part of the challenge, and we are so pleased to have her back on board.
From the first time I spoke to Nicola about her experience with Maggie’s & the help they had provided, a desire to do something to help the charity & ultimately the 50in50 Challenge was born. So, as the initial inspiration for 50in50 & a huge supporter, it’s incredibly meaningful that Nicola has kindly accepted our offer to become our first 50in50 Challenge Ambassador. Thank you!
We've been keen to get a sportswear brand on board so I looked no further than my own fitness wardrobe and it's full of TCA kit... really fab, high quality stuff, super functional & great designs too. So we got in touch & have been accepted to their affiliate programme meaning that not only do we all get 15% discount for the squad (all year round) but 6% of the value of purchases on their site using this link https://tca.fit/?ref=50in50 will be donated to Maggie's too. Thanks team!
Since we started our 50in50 'Business Partner Programme' we have aimed to partner with businesses with a health & wellness focus who could support the squad achieve their goals. Hence we contacted Mission Teas and are so delighted they are supporting the squad this time round. I've drunk their yerba mate and matcha teas for the past 5 years now & love them. And they are kindly offering the squad a 30% discount to the squad during the challenge which is pretty cool!
Today is 50 days until the kick off of 50in50 2025 on Saturday 4th January and the Official Launch Day of the 2025 Campaign!! We are incredibly proud to get set up for Round 4 of the challenge. It's grown into a pretty cool thing & the more people who get involved, the more we are able to achieve our goals of raising money & awareness for the Maggie's, building a little community of like minded people, getting fit & healthy in January & having some fun along the way. We are so excited for the next challenge and have such an amazing platform to build on from the success of the 2024 version when over 200 people signed up & over £17,000 was raised💪🙏. Check out the details, get in touch with any questions, & get involved! Team 50in50 x
Especially with so fab women in the squad, we are delighted to announce a partnership with Evana®, an OTC medicine designed to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding. We know the benefits of exercise on menstrual health, such as reducing pain & PMS symptoms, but also how menstrual bleeding can prevent many women from exercising & gaining those benefits and so this can be a great help. Issy Parry, Evana® Brand Manager says: “We’re thrilled to be supporting the 2025 50in50 Challenge. As ambassadors of all things health and wellbeing, we’re delighted to join in such a great cause, whilst educating on how periods and the menstrual cycle can impact sport and exercise throughout the challenge.” For more information, visit https://evanaperiods.com/
New Care Partner Update ... I'll leave this one to The Massage Company Altrincham Owner Gavin Hawthorn... “Having recently met David as a fellow local resident & Business Leader & heard all about the 50in50 challenge & the ambition to support the fantastic Maggie’s Centres, it was clear The Massage Company should provide support to this great cause. As a professional massage therapy provider, we are perfectly placed to support the squad & community in need of massages aligned to their training. We look forward to the partnership growing in line with David and his participants ambition & commitment.” We couldn't have put it better ourselves 🙏🙏
We have a few dates for the diary to keep things fun!
