Join us in taking part in the biggest “stay at home” fundraising challenge event this year! Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, our popular outdoor challenge events have all been postponed. Hospice Walks, Marathon and the Northern Dragon Boat Championship will all return, but that doesn’t mean we can’t raise the vital funds needed to help local people. So why not step up and take part in the ultimate stay at home virtual challenge! #MountainOfStairs Virtual Challenge is simply walking up enough stairs equivalent to some of our favourite mountains, hills and landmarks. The best part of it? #MountainOfStairs can be done all within the comfort of your own home, will you rise to the challenge? Take on the #MountainOfStairs challenge in one day, spread it over a weekend of tackle a bigger challenge over a number of weeks. Or you can make it a family event where together, your team takes on a combined total of the world’s higher peaks like Kilimanjaro or Everest! With our recommended fundraising platforms, you can collect your donations virtually, easily share your progress and get donations per stair or as you hit certain milestones! At Hospice we rely on the income from our challenge events to keep providing care to over 4,000 children, young people and adults with a life-limiting health condition right here in Northern Ireland. Our income is being severely restricted at present and we need every penny we can. Even if you can only raise a small amount please take this challenge on. Remember for every £37 you raise we will be able to provide one hour of care to someone living in your community.       Step by Step guide on how you can complete your #MountainOfStairs
