Join The 2.6 Challenge to help to save the UK’s charities
We hope you’re well during this unprecedented time. We’re inviting you, your family, and friends to take part in The 2.6 Challenge from Sunday 26 April to help to save the UK’s charities.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on charities, with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in fundraising income.
In response, the organisers of the biggest mass-participation sports events across the country have come together to create a new campaign to raise vital funds to help to save the UK’s charities.
The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday 26 April – what should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon, the world’s biggest one-day annual fundraising event.
We’re asking you to take part in an activity of your choice based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise or donate to support St Giles Animal Rescue via twopointsixchallenge.co.uk
People of all ages are taking on The 2.6 Challenge with a host of activities – from walking, running or cycling 2.6 miles, juggling for 2.6 minutes, to holding online workouts with 26 friends. The ideas and options are endless!
The only requirement is that you must follow Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing. Most people are taking part from Sunday 26 April but you can do your activity whenever it is most convenient for you.
There are just five simple steps to take:
1. Set yourself an activity based around the number 2.6 or 26. Have a look at our ideas below for inspiration and get set for Sunday 26th April to take on your challenge.
2. Set up your personalised St Giles Animal Rescue Just Giving fundraising page.
3. Ask your friends and family to donate £2.60 or £26, whatever they can afford.
4. Share your challenge on social media by using #twopointsixchallenge and tagging @stgilesrescue
5. Nominate a friend to take on the 2.6 challenge!
