WHERE: This is a ‘virtual event’. Walk or run from home to work, upstairs (without the lift!), go hiking on the weekend, pound the pavement or the treadmill, sports training, etc. and count all your steps!
HOW: On the Red Cross Journey online platform.
WEB PAGE: Red Cross Journey link attached.
SHARE: At the bottom of page the web page, are links to posters and way to share on social media.
