Walk Your Way for Dentaid’s Big Community Challenge
The organisers of Dentistry’s Big Community Challenge are giving members of the dental community the chance to “Walk Your Way” this June, in support of Dentaid The Dental Charity.
Walk Your Way is a virtual challenge which gives participants control over how far they go to fundraise. Set your own target or pick a challenge like striding 25 kilometres in a day or 100 kilometres in throughout June.
The challenge is designed to be as accessible as possible with no barriers to taking part – chose a distance you feel capable of achieving!
Funds raised through Walk Your Way will help Dentaid provide dental care for people experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse throughout the UK. Dentaid has 11 mobile dental units which travel the country visiting hostels, women’s refuges and community centres. Volunteer dental professionals provide treatment and oral health advice to those who would otherwise struggle to access care.
Those taking part in the challenge can do so on their own or as part of a team. Participants are encouraged to walk or run between dental practices, offices, labs and supply points, letting more of the dental community join in the spirit of the Big Community Challenge.
Walk Your Way is about more than exercise and fresh air. It’s about creating smiles and changing lives through dental care!
