The UKs charities need your help !!!

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 alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the worlds biggest one-day fundraising event, which raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019.

The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust, like so many charities across the UK, has been hugely impacted by the cancellation of thousands of fundraising events due to COVID-19.

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 UKs charities. The campaign, The 2.6 Challenge, will launch on Sunday 26 April 2020 what should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon, the worlds biggest one day annual fundraising event, which raised £66.4 million for charities in 2019.

The challenge will last for a week. The 2.6 Challenge is open to anyone of any age the only requirement is that the activity must follow the Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing and remember to stay local.

From Sunday 26 April 2020, we are asking you to dream up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise by donating on the The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust 2.6 Challenge Campaign on Just Giving https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/GHDT2point6challenge or by creating your own 2.6 Challenge fundraising page from Justgiving home page: https://www.justgiving.com/GHDT
