Welcome to our virtual walking challenge, Neural Pathways. We would love you to join us by pulling on your walking shoes, stepping outside and walking 26.2 miles for the 1 in 6 people affected by a neurological condition.

The registration fee for this challenge is £6. This will give you access to our special challenge platform, where you can record your distance against our virtual map across London and collect sponsorship. You will also receive full fundraising support and a free fundraising pack including National Brain Appeal t-shirt. You’re encouraged to raise at least £60 for us – and the money will go towards supporting key projects at The National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery. You can fundraise alone or as part of a team (please make sure you adhere to the latest lockdown rules).

This is the perfect challenge to motivate you to stay healthy and active over the coming months. To stay safe on your walk, please keep up-to-date with the latest coronavirus guidelines at: gov.uk/coronavirus. If you have any questions, please email: [email protected]
