Get active this November and make a difference for Cambridge United Foundation and the British Heart Foundation…

This November, we’re inviting all Cambridge United supporters to take part in 'United In Motion – Challenge 25' - a month-long event celebrating 25 years of Cambridge Fans United (CFU) and honouring the memory of Robert Osbourn, former CFU Chair and lifelong U’s supporter.

Robert served on the CFU board from 2006–2023, including five years as Chair (2016–2021) - a pivotal period in the club’s history. His passion, leadership, and commitment to both the club and the wider community continue to inspire us all.

Over the past two years, supporters have taken part in a 10km memorial walk from the Training Ground on Bentley Road to the Cledara Abbey Stadium, raising thousands of pounds for Cambridge United Foundation and the British Heart Foundation.

This year, as part of CFU’s 25th Anniversary, we’re evolving that memorial into a more inclusive and community-wide event - United In Motion: Challenge 25 - encouraging everyone to get active throughout November.

The idea is simple: take on a personal challenge based around the number 25. Whether it’s walking, running, cycling, swimming, or another form of exercise, Challenge 25 is your chance to stay healthy, have fun, and raise money for two fantastic causes.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Walk or run for 25 minutes a day
  • Cycle 25 miles a week
  • Run 25 miles in November
  • Swim 25 lengths a week

It’s your challenge, your pace - and every effort makes a difference. If you'd just like to support those who are taking on the challenge, click here to donate to the JustGiving page.

Heart and cardiovascular disease account for around 25% of deaths in people under 75 in the UK, but staying active can significantly reduce that risk. By taking part in the challenge, you’ll improve your own wellbeing while supporting others through Cambridge United Foundation and the British Heart Foundation.

Everyone who takes part will be invited to a special celebration at the CFU Takeover Day, when the U’s face Crewe Alexandra at the Cledara Abbey Stadium on Saturday 29 November.

So this November, get involved, get moving, and be United in Motion!
