Birmingham Hospice need people to join their 2.6 Challenge!

The 2.6 Challenge is an initiative created to try and overcome the deficits to Charities due to the cancellation or postponement of huge fundraising events, such as the London Marathon, due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic.

Get involved in the Birmingham Hospice 2.6 Challenge which is happening from Sunday 26th April onwards.

The 2.6 Challenge is an initiative created to try and overcome the deficits to Charities due to the cancellation or postponement of huge fundraising events, such as the London Marathon, due to the current COVID-19 Pandemic.

The Hospice is hugely dependent on voluntary donations to facilitate all of our vital services in your local Birmingham community, this is why they’re asking you and your colleagues to get involved!

Could you take part in an activity of your choice based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise or donate £26.00 to support the Hospice?

People of all ages can take part – whether you keep it sporty and run, walk or cycle 2.6 miles or climb your stairs 26 times or even if you take the creative approach and tell 26 jokes, bake 26 cakes or flip 26 pancakes the choices are endless!
