This year, the Norfolk Superhero Challenge is supporting Norfolk Community Foundation’s A Better Childhood mission to get Norfolk’s children active!

Staying active is so important. Here are Sam and I taking part at a combined age of 121 years ! Good for both of us I hope. It will be very dependent on myself who is going to be taking part on a fairly new knee! And I am somewhat old. Sam and I first took part in 2009...that is a massive 16 years ago. That time we raised funds for pancreatic cancer which was what my father had recently died of. This time all money raised goes towards children in Norfolk. We are taking part on a golden ticket which means we really do have to raise money !!

In Norfolk, 1 in 5 children leave primary school obese, and 8% have a mental health need. Yet, local spending on youth services is just £6.50 per child annually—compared to £150 in inner-city Camden. The Norfolk Superhero Challenge aims to change that.

Together, we can create opportunities that inspire the young people in Norfolk who need it most to live healthier, more active lives.
