Use your own event place to raise money for us
Did you know that you can still raise money for us even if you bought your own place in a challenge event? One of our fantastic supporters, Carl Gridley, signed up to the Birmingham Tough Mudder with a few friends and kindly decided to support us, and ended up raising a fab £250!
Whether you were lucky enough to secure a place in next year's London Marathon or just in a local event, we would be thrilled if you'd consider supporting us. We will provide you with dedicated fundraising support to assist you in reaching your target.
