Mouth cancer action group, Moveit4smiles, have helped to raise £2,000 in aid of Mouth Cancer Action Month as part of their pedometer challenge.

The team from Moveit4smiles held their pedometer challenge, where teams compete to see who can take the most steps, as part of the Argus Appeal Charity Golf Tournament at the East Brighton Golf Course.

As part of the initiative 80 keen participants were challenged to keep a track of how many steps they took during the day, with prizes going to the person who did the most and the person who did the least steps.

Aside from raising money in aid of mouth cancer the event raised an impressive total amount of £10,000, to be split between local charities including; The Argus Appeal, Rockinghorse, Cystic Fibrosis charities and Birdies 4 Children.

Speaking on the event, co-founder of Moveit4smiles, Christina Chatfield said: “Everybody had a wonderful day and managed to raise an incredible amount of money, The Argus Appeal is a fantastic cause which has contributed to the local community for almost six decades and we are excited to be part of it.
