It's almost Christmas, and for many of us that means a time for joy, celebrations, eating and drinking and - of course - presents. 

But for families struggling with poverty, physical or mental ill health, and any number of other difficulties, their problems are compounded by the pressure of providing a celebration at this time of year.

Family Action aims to make that a little easier - and we want to help too. Every £15 can buy a gift for a child.

So, from November 18 to December 17, we're challenging ourselves to run, walk or jog our way to 100km in the hope we can raise a little money and make someone's Christmas a little merrier :)
