Move Your Way: The Pituitary Challenge

Get moving this April with our community movement challenge! You can choose whatever type of movement works for you and set your own movement goal. It's a great way to get active and fundraise to support our work.

Pituitary conditions can affect energy, mobility, mental health and everyday life. That’s why this challenge is about moving in a way that works for you. Whether you walk, cycle, row, stretch, or swim, you can help fund trusted information, specialist help, psychological support and vital services for people affected by pituitary conditions across the UK. 

By getting involved, you can:

  • Get more active and improve your fitness
  • Try out a new activity, like running, swimming or dancing
  • Set a movement goal that feels achievable for you
  • Raise money to help support everyone affected by pituitary conditions
  • Claim your FREE Pituitary Foundation t-shirt to wear for the challenge

Frequently asked questions

What is the Move Your Way Pituitary Challenge?

The Move Your Way Challenge is a month-long movement and fundraising challenge taking place throughout April 2026. The idea is that people get involved by choosing a type of movement they want to do, setting a goal for that movement and then working towards that goal throughout the month.

A lot of fundraising challenges are designed around a set type of movement (like running), which may not work for everyone. We wanted to create a challenge that everyone can take part in, so that whatever way you want to move, you can do it!i

This is also a fundraising challenge, as friends, family, colleagues and others will donate to your fundraising page to support your efforts. There is no minimum sponsorship amount that you need to reach to take part. However much you raise will make a huge difference to people affected by pituitary conditions.

Can I change my movement goal once the challenge starts?

Yes! What’s so great about this challenge is that it can be whatever you want it to be. If the goal you set at the start feels too much or too little, you can change it if you wish. The whole idea is to get active, how you choose to do this is up to you.

Your movement, your pace, your way!B
