The country being put in lockdown has been a huge change of pace to normal life and we don’t know about you, but we’re starting to miss our team, friends and family.

It’s times like these we’ve all got to look out for each other, and remember how fortunate we are to have so many avenues of contact with our loved ones – social media, skype, phone calls, texts...the list is endless!

We’re also reminded how LUCKY we are in the UK to have the NHS. They are working tirelessly to keep us safe and look after those affected by COVID-19.

So, with these things in mind – we think it's about time we had some fun, connect with people online and raise money for our NHS heroes.

Our core value here at Mirafit has always been that exercise improves lives. And with the current situation we wanted to use our platform to find a practical way of delivering real help to those who need it. 

After a fun challenge of trying to jump cans in our gardens, we realised there was an opportunity to get our friends, ambassadors and customers involved in raising some funds for the NHS Charities COVID-19 Urgent Appeal.

How can I get involved?

It's simple.

All you need is some tin cans (empty drinks cans work well!) and something to record with.

Stack up as many tin cans as you reckon you can (safely!) jump without knocking them down. Video your jump, upload it to your social media, tag a few friends challenging them to do the same and using the #tincanchallenge.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: Please consider your environment and your own physical capabilities when deciding to participate in the #NHSTinCanChallenge. Do not attempt to jump over anything that you cannot do safely and without risk of injury. As with all physical activity, please ensure your environment is suitable for the activity you’re choosing to do and that the equipment you’re using is fit for purpose.

How can I donate?

Once your video is up, make a donation to the Virgin Money Giving NHS Charities campaign.

This NHS Charities appeal is something close to the hearts of everyone in the nation, and we need to come together to support our healthcare workers more than ever in this crisis.

It’s not about winning or losing, it’s about taking part, having some fun and raising money for a fantastic cause, encouraging people to dig into their pockets and spare a few pounds for our friends and family on the front line who are saving lives every day.

We'd encourage anyone who can to get involved!

We are so proud of our NHS workers, let's show them. Join the fun #NHStincanchallenge!
