Join the annual Seventy Nine Day Challenge! Run, walk, wheel, skate, lift your way to 79 days of activity.

Choose your challenge and join the team! You'll take on a minimum of 20 minutes, every day, for 79 days, raising money for Spoons Neonatal Family Support.

Together, we're challenging ourselves for hope, health, and healing. By joining #Team79 you're funding vital services supporting families when they need it most.

Why the Seventy Nine?

Now in its 5th year, the challenge was born out of adversity. When Shaun (now a Trustee of the charity) and Lauren (a dedicated Spoons volunteer), felt helpless after their twin daughters were born prematurely and admitted to the NICU. After receiving the devastating news that one of their girls needed open heart surgery, they found strength in community and positivity.

The 79 days represents the time spent in the hospital before their daughter could finally come home. Their struggle is over but for some families it is just beginning.

By joining the challenge or making a donation, you can make a difference for families experiencing neonatal care. Spoons provides parent peer support, and offers emotional and practical help for parents during their time in neonatal care, and in the community once they leave hospital.

We're hoping to smash last year's total of £15,000! Let's work together and challenge ourselves each day, between November 30th 2024, to February 16th 2025.

Thank you for your support!
