The country sits at roughly the same latitude as Bordeaux, and its terroir — warm summers, cool nights, and fertile “black earth” soils — is ideally suited to vines. During this special event, you’ll taste a curated selection of wines paired with delicious small bites, while discovering the story of a country whose passion and resilience are reshaping its place on the global wine stage.

Steps for Cancer Challenge 2026 May 7-26

For those of you who are new to this event, each year the AIWC creates virtual teams of 10 people to participate in a 20-day steps challenge. Our entry fee goes directly to helping fund Cancer Support Switzerland

Don't be overwhelmed with the following information. Sara and Christine will be able to help you.

The registration process has changed, so carefully read the following:

Sign up here on the AIWC website. This means you are committed to joining a team and donating CHF 35 directly to CancerSupport Switzerland.
Indicate how many average, daily steps you would like to accomplish. We will build teams of people with similar goals. The following is an indicator of how much time and distance your step goals may take:

3. On Thursday, March 30, you will be notified about your team. At this time you will be given instructions on how to register directly with CancerSupport Switzerland, join your team, and pay CHF 35. You will have one week to do this.

4. Before the Challenge begins, download the Pacer app onto your phone. You do not need a Smart Watch. The Pacer App will record your steps on your phone, or sync from a smart watch. As the day progresses (wherever you are in the world) team steps are tallied, informing you of where your team is placed relative to others, thus creating a gentle competition.

This is a fun activity open to your family and friends over 16 years old! The AIWC teams will create team WhatsApp groups to cheer each other on; and Sara will be organizing extra walks during this time so we can walk together.

The Steps for Cancer Support Challenge 2026 runs for 20 days between May 7-26.

Questions can be direct to Sara and Christine at aiwcevents@gmail.com. Alternatively, you can visit the Steps Challenge webpage here
