What we are doing!
In the run up to this year’s real Olympics, we have decided to run our own version and call it:
The aim is to encourage as many people as possible, young and old, to have some fun, and at the same time raise a little money for the Children with Cancer Charity UK.
What do I have to do?
Just choose any one or more of the events below and next time you go for a run, a walk, a swim, a visit to a beach, play darts in a pub, or have 5 minutes spare time to make a paper aeroplane, do Wordle or some Keepy Uppies in the park.
Then:

Maybe you could have an enjoyable competition within your team to see who the OlympiX champion will be, or compete against another team within your workplace, or even against another department in another organisation?
You may want to do one or two events with your family and friends, or just for the sheer exhilaration of being an individual OlympiX athlete!
Highly prestigious medals made from Gold, Silver, and Bronze (paper) will be the rewards for the winners of each event, but the real reward is a rosy feeling that you have done some healthy activity and satisfaction in spending a little of your time in raising money for a very deserving charity.
