Perfect 10: Ten dancers set for 10,000 step challenge to help 10 charities

FitSteps’ event will see 10 teams of 10 dancers, taking a collective 10,000 steps while dancing 10 dances on Saturday (June 10) - all to celebrate 10 years in business. In turn they’ll raise £10,000 for 10 charities with multiple of the Kingdom's charities set to benefit.

The event will take place in Pettycur Bay’s Images Suite, and the holiday park is also one of the fundraiser’s sponsors. The group has almost hit its fundraising goal, with £9,500 in sponsorship already generated, plus a further £2,000 in raffle sales.

The event has been organised by Rhona McFarlane, who teaches at Mind + Body Studio in Kirkcaldy. The fitness and beauty studio also offers dance classes, but she said she is grateful to Pettycur for their use of the facilities due to the bumper numbers expected to take part.

She said: “Images is the perfect venue and I am indebted to Pettycur Bay for its sponsorship and support of this event – it is very much appreciated. We have had a great deal of interest in it and have ten amazing teams ready to take part. It will be a full-on day of fun and fitness for all involved”.
