Join The 2.6 Challenge and help to save the UK’s charities
Dear Supporter
We hope this finds you and your loved ones well.
We would like to invite you to take part in a Nationwide fundraising event to help to save the UK’s charities. You may have heard of it - it's called The 2.6 Challenge - and it's a brilliant new idea from the people behind the London Marathon. More details can be found at www.specialolympicsgb.org.uk.
In response to the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in fundraising income, The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday 26 April, on what should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon, the world’s biggest one-day annual fundraising event.
People of all ages are taking part in The 2.6 Challenge. It's really easy and you don't need to be a marathon runner to be involved. Just think up an activity based around the numbers 2.6, 26 and 260. It could be anything, from running 2.6 miles around the balcony, to doing 26 keepie uppies or dancing round the kitchen for 26 minutes. The ideas and options are endless. We hope you will do your challenge for Special Olympics GB! Now more than ever, we need your support.
Most people are taking part on Sunday 26 April but you can do your activity whenever is most convenient for you. And you can donate to support Special Olympics GB’s 2.6 Challenge via our Just Giving page HERE or fundraise via the official 2.6 Challenge website HERE.
There are just five simple steps to take
- Dream up your 2.6 challenge – we will be sharing lots of ideas across social media in the coming days.
- Click HERE to donate £2.60, £26 – or whatever you'd like to give – or to fundraise click HERE - please don't forget to search for and select Special Olympics Great Britain.
- Complete your challenge.
- Ask all your friends and family to sponsor you and challenge them to do their own 2.6 Challenge. Be sure to promote your fundraising page via your emails, WhatsApp and social media posts.
- Share a photo or video of your challenge on your social media with #TwoPointSixChallenge #ChooseToInclude and tag Special Olympics GB at the same time.
We hope you will join the nation in The 2.6 Challenge to support Special Olympics GB and help to save the UK's charities.
We are sure you will have received many requests asking for you to support other charities, but please take a look at this video below which we hope will remind you of the vital work Special Olympics GB carries out all year round. Together, with your support, we can continue to change the lives of people with intellectual disabilities.
Many thanks in advance
Special Olympics GB
