Join the 2.6 Challenge campaign and help FirstLight Trust
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in income through fundraising events. The Virgin Money London Marathon, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event, and raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019 alone. In response, the organisers of the biggest mass participation sports events across the country have come together to create a new campaign to raise vital funds to help our fundraising and save the UK’s charities.
The campaign, 2.6 Challenge, will launch on Sunday 26 April 2020 – what should have been the date of the 40thLondon Marathon.
The 2.6 Challenge is open to anyone of any age and ability – the only requirement is that the activity must follow the Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing and remember to stay local.
Dream up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise by donating via FirstLight’s Virgin Money Giving or JustGiving page. Post your challenge on social media, tag us and use #twopointsixchallenge
