Yesterday, Tim Loughton MP took part in the Bupa ‘Get Moving’ challenge to raise awareness of the benefits of taking regular exercise and was in with a chance of winning £500 of sports equipment for a local school or sports club.
Organised by Bupa, in partnership with MEND, the Youth Sport Trust and Diabetes UK, Tim joined other Members of Parliament on the walk, which took in some of London’s most famous landmarks.
Commenting on the walk, Tim said: “The walk was great fun and made even better with the prospect of winning some equipment for people in my constituency. Fingers crossed I have been successful!”
Martin George, Managing Director, Group Development, Bupa, said: “It’s great that Members of Parliament are taking part in the Bupa ‘Get Moving’ challenge to be in with a chance of winning sports equipment for a local school or sports club. Bupa and our partners [MEND, Youth Sport Trust and Diabetes UK] are committed to helping people to get moving and live healthier lifestyles and walking is an excellent way of achieving this.”
Three walks took place in total – on 24 January, 31 January and 7 February.
