Story
Thank You for visiting our fundraising page! I decided in one of my mad moments to challenge the family with not one, but 26 challenges and raise money for breast cancer charity, Walk the Walk! Credit to the family, so far they are quite enthusiastic about it all. :) Fingers crossed it will stay like that! We know that times are hard for all, so whatever you are able to give £2.60, £6.20, £26 or anything in between, we will be extremely grateful and your donation will support those who are fighting breast cancer... they need our support now more than ever!
So what are our 26 challenges I hear you ask? Here goes.... gulp.

Save the UK's CharitiesGeneral fundraising has been hit very hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income.This impacts all sectors of society from children to the elderly as well as the vital work in areas such as palliative care, serious diseases, mental health, housing support, food supplies and countless others that charities support.
