Pottermore and Sport Relief join forces in the Billion Steps Challenge
By Callum Gunn
Get your step on and help your Hogwarts house win the league!!!
Calling all Potter fans. If you fancy getting involved in a good cause and want to represent your Hogwarts house at the same time then check out the Nation’s Billion Steps Challenge. The challenge, which sees Pottermore and Sport Relief come together, allows participants to earn house points with every step they take.
The UK based charity raises money for a variety of causes and is hoping that the challenge will not only help raise money for these causes but encourage people to become more active as well. Taking place between March 17th to March 23rd the Billion Steps Challenge aims to get the entire nation as a whole to walk one billion steps per day.
