Story
In support of our nominated charity 'Children with Cancer UK' and to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SQEP, the SQEP10 Challenge 'Global Edition' was born.
This challenge will see team SQEP travel a distance of over 40,000km to simulate a complete revolution around the world.
But there is a twist! The last 500km will be completed by a contingent of SQEP that are participating in the London Marathon. If team SQEP do not cover the required distance in advance of the marathon, then the whole challenge fails. If the marathon runners do not complete the distance on the 27th April 2025, then the whole challenge fails. This is unquestionably a case of all for one and one for all!
We will be supporting Children with Cancer UK and would welcome as much support as possible in achieving our fundraising target.
About Children with Cancer UK
Our vision is a world where every child and young person survives cancer.
For the last 35 years, we’ve been working tirelessly to fund much needed research into childhood cancer.
Every day we strive to increase awareness and understanding of cancer in children and young people, both within the scientific community and among the general public, but we can't do it without you. We’re pushing for the funding our pioneering research needs, and inspiring thousands of people to help us in realising a world where every child survives cancer.
Whilst we work towards that vision, we support the children and their families as they go through their treatment and try to navigate life beyond it. We empower them with information and celebrate their treatment milestones. We host special days to get them out of the ward. We help fund accommodation close to hospitals and provide financial support through funding grant schemes. And we stay by our families' sides long after treatment ends.
