Step Up To Support Your Automotive Family: Join The Walking Challenge For Ben Charity
This month, the automotive charity Ben is marking National Walking Month by inviting those in the automotive sector to join its walking challenges: the Thames Bridges Trek and the Kiltwalk. With 35% of people in this industry not engaging in regular exercise, these events offer a chance to improve health while making a difference. Physical activity greatly benefits overall health, so Ben encourages everyone to participate.
Participants in these events will help raise crucial funds for those in the industry facing difficulties. Whether walking with friends, family, or colleagues, these events provide an excellent opportunity to get active and support a worthy cause. Matt Wigginton, Director of Partnerships, Engagement and Income at Ben, stated: "Right now, so many in our automotive family are facing real challenges, from struggles with stress, mental health, and money problems. Every step you take and every pound you raise enables us to support those who are struggling or in crisis."
The Thames Bridges Trek on 13th September 2025 invites 2,500 participants on a 25km journey across 16 iconic bridges in London. This event promises camaraderie and stunning views of the city's skyline. For more details and registration information, visit www.ben.org.uk/trek.
The Kiltwalk offers multiple dates and locations across Scotland for participants to enjoy breathtaking scenery while walking distances of 4 miles, 11 miles, or the full 20 miles. Scheduled dates include Aberdeen on 1st June 2025, Dundee on 17th June 2025, and Edinburgh on 14th September 2025. More information can be found at www.ben.org.uk/kiltwalk.
By joining these events, participants contribute to helping those in the automotive community who are struggling with life's toughest challenges. Wigginton added: "So sign up today and challenge yourself to walk in support of your automotive family. By lacing up and stepping out for Ben, you're doing more than just walking; you're helping us change and save lives."
