In an emergency, every second counts, and so does your support.
Complete a sponsored 10k where you are, in your way, and help us get life-saving aid to people in Myanmar.
Your challenge starts from 10am on Saturday 12 April and you have 24 hours to complete it.
You’ve probably seen the devastating events in Myanmar on the news following the recent Earthquake. As you read this, local Red Cross teams are helping people who need it most. Emergencies like this turn people’s lives upside down, tear families apart, and can leave even the most resilient communities struggling to rebuild.
People need us right now, and we need you.
Join Race to Respond: 10k for Myanmar on 12 April to raise funds for our emergency response.
It’s an easy way to turn your empathy into action: how and where you complete the 10-kilometre distance is completely up to you. So plan your route, start your fitness tracker and let your loved ones know they can support you.
Get ready by setting up your JustGiving fundraising page and asking your friends, family and followers to sponsor you.
Get set by deciding your route and joining our live launch at 10am on 12 April. You then have 24 hours, from Saturday 12 through to Sunday morning to complete the distance.
Respond to the Myanmar Earthquake by running, walking, swimming, wheeling or moving in any way that suits you and asking family and friends to sponsor you – your support will fund our urgent work.
You can take part with others (including four-legged companions) and if you're going solo, you won’t be on your own. On local streets and at #RacetoRespond on socials, people like you will be sharing the experience and turning kindness into action.
If you know somebody affected by the Myanmar Earthquake, we can also offer them support. Visit RedCross.org.uk for more information.
We know that when disaster hits the headlines, it can be hard to know how to help. But together we can be there for people when the worst happens. Together, we are the world's emergency responders.
You must be 18 or older to sign up for Race to Respond, or create a JustGiving account. If you are not 18 please get a parent or guardian to register on your behalf.
