About the Children's Marathon Challenge

The Challenge is extremely simple: children get sponsored to tackle an activity linked
to the number 26 – the number of miles in a marathon.

What your children do is up to you – we’ve provided a great list of really popular ideas on our
Challenge Ideas page for you to browse through.

You (or the children) choose a Challenge and decide on a date when you would like to complete it.

The children then gather sponsorship from friends and family using our handy sponsorship
form. We even provide a letter template for the children to take home which explains
the Challenge to their parents.

Then you all have a great time completing the Challenge!

You count up all the money that the children have raised -
remember, your school or organisation can choose to keep up to half
of the total raised - and you then send the rest back to
CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA. You can send in your donation online
or by post.

When you send in your donation, you let us know which souvenirs your
children would like and we will send those out to you along with an official
certificate to say thanks for all your efforts.

It really is that simple!
