Do your own challenge
The Leicester half-marathon was a real challenge but we both really enjoyed the experience!
We chose to run to raise funds for Barnardo's as we both have children and really appreciate the need for the services that Barnardo's provides to children and their families in the U.K

Want some inspiration?
In the past few months our supporters have challenged themselves to events such as:
- the Bristol Half Marathon
- a fancy dress cycle ride
- the Oslo Marathon
- the Great North Swim
- Hadrian's Wall challenge
- a motorcycle ride through South East Asia
- rowing the English Channel
- and climbing Mount Snowdon in a pair of high heels!
Barnardo's makes so much positive difference to children's lives and doesn't give up on them even if they've given up on themselves. This inspired me (despite being absolutely rubbish at running at school) to run the Toronto Marathon for Barnardo's.

Whatever the challenge, the Barnardo's Challenge Events team can provide advice, fundraising support and ideas.
If you are taking part on your own or are organising a team challenge with colleagues, friends and family, get in touch and let us know about your challenge!
