Emma's Run 26 challenge, 26 April 2020
On Sunday 26th April we are asking you to do something with a 2 and 6! Run/Walk/Cycle 2.6 miles, run up the stairs 26 times, flip a pancake 26 times! Anything fun with your family with a 2 and 6 and donate £2.60 (or more if you can) to First Days!

Story

Sunday 26th was meant to be the London Marathon, that will have to wait for another day, but, as we've been really busy at First Days in the last few weeks giving essentials to families in need, as well as things to help children learn at home and entertain them as well. 

So, I thought I would deliver some of these packs to 26 families in my home town, as a nod to the London Marathon, and to support all of these families. We have been making lots of home deliveries - but these have been in a car, which isn't exactly a challenge, so ... 

I will run, pushing a buggy with the donations in, to safely deliver packages (in packaging that is wipe-clean and sanitised before delivery) to 26 families in need in my home town of Wokingham. 

If you can sponsor me that would be incredible - if all of our supporters donated £2.60 it would go a very long way!
