Kymin steps up to the challenge during June

Kymin Financial Planners are once again putting on their walking boots in June in support of St David's Hospice Care. Robin, Lisa and Kat are supporting the event with each of them pledging to cover at least 10,000 steps a day throughout the month of June, whilst raising vital funds for the hospice at the same time.

Keen walker Robin said: "There is no better exercise than a good walk and knowing that every step that you take helps the hospice gives you even more encouragement to put on your walking shoes and get out into the fresh air.

“It's never been more important than now to support the hospice which has been experiencing its most challenging time in its forty-plus year history.

"And what better way to support the hospice than getting out for regular walks in June with friends, family and loved ones exploring the wonderful countryside at this magical time of the year.

We intend to complete our 10,000 steps a day challenge with a mixture of walking from home to the office in Bridge Street, Newport, parking further away from the office or completing a River Usk circuit during the working day. We will also complete some great walks far and wide on weekends.

Beth Harrington, of St David's Hospice Care, who is organising the event, said the 10k steps in June has once more grabbed people's imagination. Walkers have been attracted to completing their walks in their hometowns with entrants from across the globe taking up the challenge in support of the hospice.

"We are very grateful to Kymin for their continued support and again stepping up to back our 10k steps challenge. Kymin have been marvellous supporters over the years and are a shining example of how a local business can engage with us for the greater good.

"We would ask that everyone gets involved with this new campaign. Completing 10,000 steps a day is a challenge, but the health rewards speak for themselves. Raising funds will support those patients and families most in need living locally within our communities."
