Hi Maralyn, why did you decide to join the Fitness 100 Club and what are you planning on doing to raise money?
"I have set myself the goal of running a 5k by the end of the year and I pledge to raise a minimum of £100 for the Scottish Spina Bifida Association (SSBA). I have wanted to get fit for years but something always seemed to get in the way. This year I’m determined to succeed!
"I have set myself the goal of running a 5k by the end of the year and I pledge to raise a minimum of £100 for the Scottish Spina Bifida Association (SSBA). I have wanted to get fit for years but something always seemed to get in the way. This year I’m determined to succeed!
I have never attempted to run before and I wasn’t sure where to start, but the SSBA’s Fitness 100 Leader has provided me with a basic fitness and nutrition plan and has also helped me to find the races which are taking place where I live. So I’m all set to go!”
Maralyn will be 1 of 100 people, across Scotland, joining the Fitness 100 Club and raising £100. She’ll be getting fit, confident in the knowledge that she has the support, not only of the SSBA, but of all other club members who’ll be interacting via e-newsletters and social media.
Together the Fitness 100 Club aims to raise £10,000 which could fund 5 months of Healthy Lifestyle Services to those living with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus in Scotland.
Services include: Continence Clinics; Wheelchair Training; Health Checks with Senior Specialist Nurses and Fitness Groups. These are essential services allowing those affected to gain independence, feel less socially isolated and feel empowered, every day.
