Story

Raising money for the Birmingham Women's Hospital Woodland House Appeal in memory of Amy Shimell

What is the challenge?

Taking inspiration from the London Marathon’s recent ‘2.6 Challenge’, setup to help support UK charities during the Covid-19 pandemic – we’re organising a ‘3.5 Challenge’ in celebration of what would have been Amy’s 35th birthday.

Simply choose any activity you like that involves the number 35. Be that a 3.5km/mile run/walk, holding a plank for 3.5 minutes, walking up and down your stairs 35 times. Or maybe something less physical, like baking 35 cakes, completing 35 crosswords, some knitting, painting, quizzing – there are no restrictions (other than those imposed by UK government at the time!)

PLUS if you can feature flamingos in your chosen activity somehow, that would be fantastic!

Decide on your activity, and make a pledge £5 per person, or £10 per family to support the charity at a time when donations are needed more than ever.

Join the team page if you'd like to invite your friends and family to sponsor you for your individual challenges!
