We're inviting you, your family and friends to take part in The 2.6 Challenge to help support The Nick Smith Foundation.
Coronavirus has had a devastating effect on charities across the UK, with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in fundraising income. And we're no exception.
The 2.6 Challenge is a national effort to raise funds to ensure the work we and other organisations do can continue.
Were 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 The Nick Smith Foundation.
People of all ages are taking on The 2.6 Challenge with a host of activities from walking, running or cycling 2.6 miles, juggling for 2.6 minutes, to holding online workouts with 26 friends. The ideas and options are endless.
The only requirement is that you must follow Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing.
There are just five simple steps to take:
1. Dream up your 2.6 challenge - if you need help there are lots of ideas here >>
2. Donate £26 - or whatever you can afford, every penny counts - or set up a fundraising page yourself. The link is on this page.
3. Ask all your friends and family to sponsor you and challenge them to do their own 2.6 Challenge
4. Complete your challenge
5. Share a photo or video of your challenge on social media with #TwoPointSixChallenge #ForSmudger
We hope you'll join the nation in The 2.6 Challenge to support The Nick Smith Foundation and help to save the UK's charities.
