Step-tember: Take on a 90-Mile Challenge This September

11 August 2026

Could you go the extra mile for children and families who need you? 

This September, take on our Step-tember challenge and complete 90 miles in 30 days as part of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice’s “From That Moment” campaign.

From the moment a family’s world changes, Noah’s Ark is there, providing care, therapy and support to children with life-threatening or life-shortening conditions and their families.  

This autumn, we’re asking our community to come together to help us continue being there, from that moment and every moment after. Step-tember is your chance to make a difference, one mile at a time. Walk, run, cycle, wheel, swim or mix it up! Complete 90 miles throughout September in whatever way works for you. That’s around three miles, or 7,000 steps, a day. You could walk to work, run around your local park, cycle a longer route at the weekend, swim a few lengths, or get your friends, family and colleagues involved and take on the challenge together. And this year, your fundraising can go even further - as part of the From That Moment campaign, donations will be doubled thanks to our match funding, helping your support make twice the difference.*

Be inspired by last year’s Step-tember challengers 

Our Step-tember 2025 participants showed just how much you can achieve when you have a reason to keep moving. Itohan took on the 90-mile September challenge by cycling from London to Brighton. For her, every mile had a purpose: “I wanted to help ensure more families could benefit from their incredible support.”  

Leah took on an extraordinary personal challenge. After 12 years using a wheelchair because of Hip Dysplasia, Leah learnt to walk again following an operation in 2024. She then walked more than 90 miles for Noah’s Ark. “A year ago, I couldn’t even stand, let alone walk!” Leah says. “To have walked over 90 miles, has been an amazing achievement.” 

Now it’s your turn 

Set yourself a goal. Get moving. Raise vital funds and make every mile matter.  

Sign up for Step-tember today and take on the 90-mile charity challenge for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice. 

When you sign up, you’ll be supported every step of the way by Tony Cucchiara, Noah’s Ark’s Supporter Engagement Officer, who said: 

“Sign up for Step-tember with Noah's Ark and be part of our Team Noah community!  Whether you walk, run, cycle, or other, you'll turn every step into something meaningful. You'll boost your own wellbeing while helping children who are seriously unwell and their families get the vital care and support they need.”
