Raising £500,000 to bring strength, comfort, and hope to young cancer patients and families facing cancer.
Introduction
In 2026, I'm taking on my biggest challenge yet: to raise £500,000 through the power of 26.
Why 26? It could be 26 miles, 26 cakes, £26, or 26 friends taking part. Big or small, every “26” challenge adds up to life-changing support for children with cancer and their families.
What Your Support Makes Possible
Every pound raised through Challenge 26 will fund practical, meaningful projects that ease the journey for children, parents, and siblings:
Continuing the work of our four psychologists, providing vital mental health and wellness support.
Offering families free short breaks at The Ripple Retreat – a peaceful haven away from hospitals and treatments.
Funding specialist medical kits that make daily life easier for young cancer patients.
Delivering many more hands-on projects that bring comfort and hope during the toughest of times.
Together, we can make sure families don’t have to face cancer alone.
How to Take Part
Challenge 26 is simple, fun, and open to everyone. Pick a challenge based on the number 26, and raise what you can. Some ideas to get started but do let us know if you have your own idea we can share with others!
Walk, run, or cycle 26 miles (or kilometres).
26 people to pledge to raise £1000 each
26 businesses to pledge to support us in 2026 raising funds and offering volunteer time too.

Your imagination is the limit!
