Taking the 2.6 Challenge
Did you know, the London Marathon is the world's biggest one day annual fundraising event? Last year, it raised £66.4 million for charities. It can't happen today, but the organisers didn't want charities to miss out, so they've launched Plan B... the 2.6 Challenge!
Their goal is to mobilise 2.6 million people to raise £67 million for charities (as much as the London Marathon would have) by donating £26, or taking on a 2.6- or 26-themed challenge. It's estimated that the UK charity sector will lose £4 billion in income as a result of the pandemic*, but it's vital that we keep afloat so we can get back to work, serving young people and helping communities to recover, as soon as it is safe.
That's why these lovely people are taking the 2.6 Challenge for Worth Unlimited!
They've set themselves all kinds of goals - some physical, some mental, some will-power! To support one of our champions, click on the link beside their picture.
