A November to Remember

Date: Monday 1st November 2021

A November to Remember – #N2R

“Get out there, have fun, do what invigorates you, and go as hard as you can to support seriously ill kids this November.”

What we’re doing

As Canberra is coming out of lockdown, the sun is shining, and we are trying to shed some of our “COVID Kilos” and boost our mental health, the month of November is a great opportunity to get fit, spend time outdoors, have some fun, and raise vital funds for local Canberra charity, the Stella Bella Foundation!

Why it’s important

The Stella Bella Foundation is a local charity which makes a real difference to the lives of critically ill children and their families in our region.  We provide crucial assistance to families who are struggling financially whilst caring for a seriously ill child with grants, food and petrol vouchers; we run an innovative respite care centre for seriously ill babies and children; we provide a range of family supports including meals for parents with babies in the Neonatal Care Unit at the Canberra Hospital and we run the well-known “Little Star Beads Program” for seriously ill children to enable to  them to tell the story of their medical journey and feel proud of all of the challenges they have faced. We are a registered charity with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status, so you can be confident that any funds you raise will go directly to supporting these super important initiatives.

How “A November to Remember” Works:

Choose an activity, set your goal for the month of November and come up with your pledge:

“My goal is to bring sparkle to the lives of seriously ill children and their families by………………………” (pledge)

Here are some suggestions if you haven’t already got an amazing idea.
⭐Cycling: Challenge yourself to a goal of 100km or 1000km, and do an amount each day of the month OR choose to do a number of laps of one of Canberra’s lakes, or even up all the mountains of Canberra i.e. Red Hill, Mt Ainslie, Black Mountain, Mt Taylor, Stromlo
⭐Running: A 300km or 150km goal, 10kms or 5kms every day of the month or laps of lakes, or personal best time for 5km, 10km
⭐Walking: Do the Centenary Trail in both directions, 2000 steps per day, walk to work every weekday, walk up all of Canberra’s mountains
⭐Workplace challenge: Set up a relay event for your team to all take part in throughout one day including walks, rides, runs or rollerskates. Organise an evening whole team adventure or a competitive match of footy, tennis or a race between offices.
⭐Swimming: set number of laps of the pool each day or number of days attended in a month
⭐Weights: set a personal best to lift by the end of the month
⭐Dance/Zumba/Yoga/Pilates/CrossFit: Pick a number of sessions you will commit to per week or set your own personal goal
⭐Set a Weight loss goal
⭐Set a Muscle gain goal
⭐Try a new sport/exercise you’ve never done before each day or week of the challenge
⭐Family challenge: Get the whole family to commit to learning a new sport or taking a walk or ride together each evening. You could even plan a big adventure on one day where you all do a challenge at the same time but doing your own favourite sport or exercise. Get your kids to come up with a challenge, they are sure to have some great ideas!
⭐Create a gorgeous GPS star by walking, running or cycling while connected to your fitness app and creating a giant star with your tracking. Start small with an oval and then try something huge!
Really the sky is the limit and you can choose whatever you think will be a fun and fruitful challenge for yourself or for your family or workmates. Whatever you do and however big or little it is, it will help us to create a November to Remember and to show the children and families we support just how much we all care.

Basically you can do anything that can be tracked using your fitness app, or through your own updates on your supporter page, so use your imagination, do something really interesting or ultra-challenging through November – as the best ideas win prizes too!
