COUCH potatoes who quake at the idea of running a mile, or gym bunnies looking for a new high need look no further as ‘Get Fit for Phyllis’ has a myriad of challenges to get adrenaline pumping.

From running a half-marathon to trekking the Great Wall of China, participants can chose the challenge which best suits them – and at the same time raise vital money to help the area’s hospice.

Those with a head for heights could try a sponsored skydive, or those who think they are indestructible can meet their match with the Tough Mudder Challenge.

If you prefer to get by on two wheels you can take part in the London-to-Paris ride or join the Cycle Transylvania ride. As well as burning off calories, participants will feel the satisfaction of facing a new challenge head on and beating it. Visit www. pth. org.uk/getfit-for-phyllis
