We've more than DOUBLED last week's total and stand at an incredible 7,941,494 steps! This means a little over 2,000,000 left to hit our 10,000,000 STEP-tember target! Can you help us? All the info you need is here:

Our STEP-tember week 2 total is... 3,884,159!
We're half way through the month and this is a fantastic amount. Do you think we can hit 10 million by Tuesday 30th?? Watch this space for an event coming up to help us all log more steps, together. Donate here:

What a great hour or so for our first ever Rimrose Readers session! We dodged the worst of the rain, ambled along a trail before reading an excerpt from The Old Ways, by Robert Macfarlane, together. It got everyone thinking about the origins of the paths we follow. 💚📚🚶‍♀️

STEP-tember week 1 total! Amazing contributions from Rimrose Runners and Marsh Lane Harriers as well as people's individual walks and runs, so well done everyone! Here's a reminder of the sponsorship link if you'd like to raise money for Rimrose Valley Friends:
