Built around real life
Movement without pressure.
PHighter is designed for a community where energy, mobility and health can change from day to day. A lap of the garden counts. A push in a chair counts. Rest never wipes away what you have already achieved.
- No leaderboard and no public ranking
- A chosen display name rather than a legal name
- Manual distance entries that can be added, corrected or removed
- Dark mode, reduced motion and accessibility settings respected
Inside the launch experience
A famous trail becomes a story worth sharing.
- 01
A real trail, your pace
Move along a real route a little at a time. There are no streaks, no race and no penalty for resting.
- 02
Walk or wheel
Choose walking or wheeling when you set up the launch challenge. Both options follow the same inclusive trail.
- 03
Places become postcards
Reach landmarks and unlock real photography, local stories and short facts about pulmonary hypertension.
- 04
A passport, not a podium
Complete a trail to earn a medal and keep each season in your PHighter passport. Nothing is ranked against somebody else.
- 05
Share moments, not fitness boasts
Preview a postcard or medal before sharing it, then invite someone to support your own myPHA fundraising page.
- 06
Connected through myPHA
