The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on charities with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in fundraising income. 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 to save the UKs charities.

The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday 26 April what should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon. We are asking you to take part in an activity of your choice based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise or donate to support us.

So think of your challenge and be a Hero at Home by raising money for NETA.

Most people are taking part from Sunday 26 April but you can do your activity whenever is most convenient for you.
