Children with Cancer UK's vision is a world where every child and young person survives cancer.

For 35 years, Children with Cancer UK has funded much needed research into the causes of childhood cancers, and the development of better, kinder treatments as well as funding initiatives that support children and their families through cancer treatment and beyond.

Children with Cancer UK's work has contributed significantly to a marked increase in childhood cancer survival rates and improved quality of life for patients.

This is just part of a wider challenge that we at SQEP has set ourselves in the build-up to the marathon:

In support of our nominated charity 'Children with Cancer UK' and to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SQEP, the SQEP10 Challenge 'Global Edition' was born.

This challenge will see team SQEP travel a distance of over 40,000km to simulate a complete revolution around the world.

But there is a twist! The last 500km will be completed by a contingent of SQEP that are participating in the London Marathon. If team SQEP do not cover the required distance in advance of the marathon, then the whole challenge fails. If the marathon runners do not complete the distance on the 27th April 2025, then the whole challenge fails. This is unquestionably a case of all for one and one for all!

We will be supporting Children with Cancer UK and would welcome as much support as possible in achieving our fundraising target.
