The Body Walk 2024
1st September 2025 – 30th September 2025
JOIN US this September for Vascular Awareness Month!
Are you ready to take on a new challenge? Join us in collectively achieving the 60,000 miles that make up the circulatory system!
About The Body Walk
September is Vascular Awareness Month, and the Circulation Foundation's #TheBodyWalk is a national campaign to raise awareness of vascular disease, fund vital research, and support patients. We're inviting everyone to help us raise funds and support individuals coping with serious circulatory problems.
The circulatory system is incredibly long - if you were to lay out all the arteries, veins, and capillaries in one adult end to end, they would stretch about 60,000 miles (100,000 kilometers).
Our Goal: Walk, run, cycle, and/or swim a total of 60,000 miles during September.
Our Progress: Since starting in 2020, we've completed 40,764 miles and raised £23,774!
