We have two great fundraising challenges, designed especially for children.
Our challenges are great fun and any group of children can join in, and you'll be raising life-saving funds to help us continue our fight against childhood cancer.
If you're a school, class or a Guide or Scout group, we’d love to have you on board!
And what's more, you can keep 50% the money raised for your school, group or club.
The Children’s Marathon Challenge
This is a fun-filled challenge for four to eight year olds. 
Children complete a sponsored Challenge based round the number 26
– the number of miles in a marathon.
Past Challenges have ranged from picking up 26 marbles with chopsticks to learning to say “hello” in 26 different languages.
We provide free event materials including letters for parents, certificates, assembly guides and exclusive Mr Men souvenirs.

How your support can help
“Ben was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) in March 2007. It was truly the most frightening day of my life.
To have a normal seven-year-old child attending school one day, only to be diagnosed with a life threatening illness another, is just surreal.
Ben needed the highest level of treatment – a full year of intensive chemotherapy, followed by two years of maintenance chemotherapy.
Ben has been amazing throughout and a true inspiration to us all. He’s made many friends in hospital and has even helped the other children when they have to go through procedures he’s already experienced.
We still have such a long way to go and life is often stressful and exhausting. Now we've reached the maintenance blocks of chemotherapy, it's time to keep fingers and toes crossed as Ben has a high risk of relapse.
We just hope and pray it won't come back.”
Anita Smith, Ben's mum
