We’ve timed our challenge to take place throughout Melanoma Awareness Month and to coincide with Skin Awareness Week. Both awareness campaigns take place in May and by taking part you will be helping to raise the profile of your cause at the ideal time of year.
Taking part is easy!
Let us know what you plan to do and we will send you everything you need to get you going. A FREE sports top, training plans if you need them, our Fundraising Pack and lots of hints and tips to help you along the way.
There’s NO FEE to join.
