Our 2.6 Challengers raise almost £1500 in Marathon virtual event!
Isle of Wight fundraisers take on the 2.6 Challenge to help The Wight Brainy Bunch.
Many fundraising events in the UK have been postponed and cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic leaving many charities struggling to provide their vital services.
The 2.6 Challenge was a virtual fundraising event, arranged by the organisers of the London Marathon which took place on Sunday 26th April, the original date of the 40th London Marathon. The idea was to invite as many people as possible to support UK charities by taking part in any activity that involved the numbers 26 or 2.6 – from running 2.6 miles to holding an online workout with 26 of your friends.
Below are some of our AMAZING #TwoPointSixChallenge fundraisers and their events, taking place in aid of The Wight Brainy Bunch:
