Do your own challenge
We picked Barnardo's to support because they helped my father when he was a child, and we wanted to give something back.
The Coast to Coast Walks was one of the best experiences of our lives, meeting lifelong friends as well as raising money to help children in need."
Bryan and Terry McNalty, Coast to Coast 2011
If you have a physical fundraising challenge in mind, or already have your own place in an event, get in touch and the Barnardo's Challenge events team can support you through the whole experience!
Want some inspiration?
In the past few months our supporters have challenged themselves to events such as:
- Survival of the Fittest Challenge
- the Paris Marathon
- Running 2011 miles in 2011
- an Iron Man challenge
- Wing Walking
- and climbing Mount Snowdon in a pair of high heels!
If only I had more Jelly Babies I could run it again! In all seriousness though, it seemed right to run for Barnardo's, especially as so many generous people had sponsored me for such a worthwhile cause. This helped me through the training in the winter months and brought it all home on the day of the Marathon, watch this space for more Marathons!
