Fundraising for MATES!
Often, people approach us and ask if they can fundraise for us by doing particular challenges, this could be anything from a cake sale up to a marathon.
Below are some examples of what people have done over the years, as well as some challenges that you can involved in on our behalf and others that are happening right now!
LIVE EVENTS!
Rob and Owen's Ultimate Challenge
"On the 13th October 2023, we are planning to run/ruck from London to Birmingham along the Grand Union Canal wearing weighted vests and ankle weights on each leg. This will take us 8 days moving for 7-8 hours per day and covering a total of 225km (140 miles), the equivalent of around 5.5 marathons!!
The day after we arrive in Birminham, we will be competing in the first Hyrox race of the 2023/24 season" (read more about Rob and Owens challenge here...)
