Opportunity to win sports equipment for a local school / sports club
Lincoln’s Member of Parliament, Karl McCartney, today took part in the Bupa ‘Get Moving’ challenge to raise awareness of the benefits of taking regular exercise and by doing so is in with a chance of winning £500 of sports equipment for a local school or sports club.
Organised by Bupa in partnership with MEND, the Youth Sport Trust and Diabetes UK, Mr McCartney joined other Members of Parliament on the walk, which took in some of London’s most famous landmarks.
Commenting on the walk, Mr McCartney said: “It was enjoyable to meet the attendees and representatives from BUPA, and spend some time with them and my colleagues on this morning’s walk – and of course there is a chance to win some sports equipment for local schools. I’m looking forward to the walks scheduled for coming weeks too as I aim to be fitter for this year’s Lincoln 10K.”
Martin George, Managing Director, Group Development, Bupa, said: “It’s great that Members of Parliament are taking part in the Bupa ‘Get Moving’ challenge to be in with a chance of winning sports equipment for a local school or sports club. Bupa and our partners [MEND, Youth Sport Trust and Diabetes UK] are committed to helping people to get moving and live healthier lifestyles and walking is an excellent way of achieving this.”
The winner will be announced on 7 February at the final walk. There are three walks taking place in total – on 24 January, 31 January and 7 February.
