Story

26th April would have been the date of the London Marathon, the biggest day for charity fundraising in the UK. The 2.6 Challenge is an idea for people to come together to do little fundraising challenges around the numbers 2.6 or 26 on that date.

As we're all in a lockdown at the moment, what we thought we'd do is the thing that we're best at - a 26-hour end of the world movie marathon! Viruses, zombies, natural disasters - we've got them all!

We'll be starting at 9pm on Saturday 25th April, taking us through to 11pm on Sunday 26th. See picture for our full itinerary!

Our chosen charity is Barnet Mencap, who support people with learning disabilities and autism of all ages (and their carers). They provide supported living, day to day support, social activities, holidays, short breaks and lots more!
