Events - More Challenges

Wherever you choose to rise to the challenge, whatever you want to do, you’ll have WellChild’s support all the way. We’ve put together some suggestions of possible events (from the sublime to the frankly ridiculous) for you to think about!  

We will support you all the way and will help you with your fundraising, training and PR.

 

• Dragon boat racing - are there 16 of you (plus a drummer) who can row in one of a number of events across the UK?
• Mascot Grand National - yes, that's right and you can take part in WellChild's "Nurse Nessa" costume.
• At the gym, get other members to take part in a spinathon where the idea is to cycle the same distance as the Tour de France. Alternatively you could "swim the channel" by taking a week to swim the equivalent distance.
• Climb Snowdon, walk the Cotswold Way or even cycle to work for a month.
• Take part in the famous Marathon des Sables which is a 6 day/151 mile endurance race across the Sahara Desert.
• Row the Atlantic in the Woodvale Challenge
• The Tough Guy Challenge, a cross country run and assualt course, takes place each January and July in Wolverhampton.

Some events require you to pay a registration fee but once that’s done, get on with your WellChild fundraising and register here for a fundraising pack.

You can do anything.  Here are just some of the things people have chosen to do for us:
