2012 - The Gold Challenge
Welcome to Arrhythmia Alliance’s Olympic Initiative - the exciting new charity challenge where anyone aged seven and over can take on Olympic and Paralympic sports to raise money for charity.
The Gold Challenge is organised in partnership with the British Olympics Association, Paralympics GB and Sport England. Programme participants are sponsored to undertake a minimum of three hours’ training in at least five Olympic or Paralympic sports, or to complete an endurance event. The challenge needs to be completed by December 31 2012.
Individuals and groups of all ages and abilities can participate in the challenge. You can even add your own twists to the challenge. Inter-school tournaments with teams competing with one another or setting fundraising targets are good ways to get more out of the programme. Groups may also want to consider team or individual awards based on athletes’ performance, attitude or dedication.
