It’s organised by [Walk As One](https://walkasone.org/about/). Each day between 1-31 May, it asks people to record the steps they take and upload them to their team page on the Walk Your AS Off website. There are no minimum or maximum steps, and any activity can count. The National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) is encouraging people to take part, and to fundraise for the charity. ## Advertisement --- > May is [#NationalWalkingMonth](https://twitter.com/hashtag/NationalWalkingMonth?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). > Why not set yourself a [#GAINmomentum](https://twitter.com/hashtag/GAINmomentum?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > challenge to head out for a daily walk?
