Congratulations to Mark from Ebbsfleet Valley!

Mark discovered the BetterPoints app in June 2019. He has been on a huge journey, from being active just twice a week to regularly running and walking. He has also lost an incredible 15 kilos in weight too!

He is currently taking part in our Ebbsfleet Schools Summer challenge, and is on the Ebbsfleet Green Primary Team. They (as of today - 16th May) are sitting in third place on the Leaderboard. Can they overtake The Craylands School and Springhead Park?

If you have a child at one of the Ebbsfleet Primary Schools get in touch via our in app Help, we can give you a special code to take part until the end of term.

Here is why he is our Get Active Star of the month:

"Before I joined Get Active in Ebbsfleet and the Sunday Active Group I was a keen golfer but that was about it. 

Since discovering the app my walking has increased, I'm now a regular at parkrun and Sunday Active, a local running group.

A big thank you to the Ebbsfleet Community Run Leaders for helping me get to 5k. 

The Ebbsfleet Schools Challenge has been encouraging me a little more too, a bit of healthy competition is never a bad thing!  

I'm noticing the health benefits too. I've lost 15kg in weight this year, the running is great for that. I miss the school run when the kids are off. My mood is generally better, more energetic. The hardest part is starting and the app can be the push someone needs. 

We all want to see instant results, but a healthier lifestyle is earned, just keep showing up day after day and the results will come."

Be our next Get Active Star and win 25,000 BetterPoints
