Step Out 2012

Step out Rowntree Park, York

27/5/2012

Venue: Rowntree Park, York, YO23 1JQ

Type: Special Event

Step Out is the national event to raise awareness and funds for The Stroke Association, and to have a great time in the process!
There are many ways to Step Out, and the events are suitable for all ages and abilities.

Visit Rowntree Park on Sunday 27 May for a free day of 20th Anniversary celebrations. The day will include a Zumbathon, live entertainment, blood pressure checks, cake sales and much more.

The main focus of the day is the sponsored charity walk. Put your best foot forward for stroke and choose to do a 100 step walk within the park, a 1.5 mile walk along the river (with a flight of stairs) or a bigger challenge on our treadmills within the park. To take part in the 'Step out' sponsored walk you can enter online for just £5.

The warm up for the walks begins at 11:30 am, ready for the walks to kick off at midday.
But it doesn't stop there, there are many other activities during the day to get the whole family involved, including face painting, children’s activities, blood pressure guidance and refreshments.

There will be Zumba dancing from 11:00am–4:00pm. This is an exhilarating, effective, easy to follow, Latin-inspired, calorie burning dance party!
'Sponsor a Balloon' (biodegradable) for £3 that will be released on the day, in memory or to celebrate life after stroke.
 
Step Out is a fun walking event for the whole family and will be at several locations throughout the year.

I am going to participate in the above event & hope to complete the 1.5 miles event.
