Sponsored Events

Whether it’s a leisurely walk or jumping out of a plane there are a range of different sponsored events that you can take part in to raise money for Waverley Care.

Here are a few ideas to consider:·

• Sponsored Walks
  The Walk for Scotland will take place in Edinburgh on 6th June 2010 with 1, 6 or 12 mile routes for people to choose from, or why not think about organising your own sponsored walk with friends and family?

• Sponsored Bike Rides
  Why not use pedal power to raise funds? Pedal for Scotland takes place on 12 September 2010 with the ‘family ride’, ‘challenge ride’ (51 miles) and the ‘sportive ride’ (100 miles) go to www.pedalforscotland.org for more information and sign up to raise money for Waverley Care.

  5km may be your chosen distance or a full 26.2 mile marathon. There is a wide range of running events available for you to take part in of all different distances. Visit www.runningdiary.co.uk for event ideas.
   
• Team Running Events
  Why not rally your friends or workmates to take part in an event together. We have places available now for the Edinburgh Marathon Hairy Haggis Team Relay taking place on Sunday 23rd May 2010.
   
• Forth Rail Bridge Abseil
  For the more adventurous amongst you why not challenge your head for heights and tackle a 90ft freefall abseil off the Forth Rail Bridge. Abseils take place in April and October.
   
• Skydive
  Either attached to an instructor (in tandem) or on your own (static line) take part in a parachute jump and have something to tell the grandkids!
