JD’s Miles in a Month challenge

August saw 35 members of our JD team pledge to complete 112 people-powered miles each in just one month. 112 miles is the distance between JD and Support Dogs’ head office, and the miles could be travelled by walking, running, swimming, biking or even paddle boarding or surfing!

The group target was 3920 miles, and by the end of the month we reached 3924 miles raising £1280!

Funds were raised by sponsorship and a sweepstake to guess how many miles we would complete in total. We kept momentum with weekly challenges like ‘Most unusual way to travel half a mile’ and ‘Most colleagues on a walk’.

The end of the month saw an award ceremony where participants received sustainable prizes including wooden medals, and prizes from social enterprise companies. Team JD also produced some fab trophies! 

Well done to all our Miles in a Month participants - it was great fun!
