Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

The Million Miles Challenge Event is being held by the charity Schoolchildren for Children and is hoping to achieve a sum total of over three million miles by young people doing some form of physical exercise in 2010.

The Challenge is open to everyone and by participating you have a wonderful opportunity to increase your own health and fitness at the same time as being able to make a real difference for disadvantaged children overseas.

The sum total of miles will be recorded on the Home page of the website www.schoolchildrenforchildren.org on the “National Mileometer”.
The Mileometer will commence on 1st January 2010.
All mileage submitted will be named on the “Roll of Honour” on the website.
Once a school/club/association has registered then any additional mileage will be added to their total during the year.
It costs as little as £1 per person from schools/clubs/associations to participate.
If individuals, informal groups or families wish to participate then they would need to register at £1 per mile per person.
Swimming, cycling, rowing and horse riding are all acceptable forms of exercise, as are walking, jogging or running, however swimming distances can be multiplied by four (x 4), and cycling distances will be divided by two (¸ 2).
Everyone who participates will receive a free “Million Miles Challenge – Schoolchildren for Children” campaign wristband but donations of less than £10 need to be accompanied by a S.A.E. which needs to be sent to the Charity with the name of the Donor/s on the front.

To register and participate, please apply online at www.schoolchildrenforchildren.org/register.cfm

All monies raised will go to help children in educational projects overseas all of which can be viewed on the website.
None of the monies raised by this challenge will be used for administrative costs – these are covered by separate sponsorship from individual patrons and donors.

Donating is simple, fast and totally secure with Just Giving. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor the charity, we will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Your support can make a real difference.  Please dig deep and donate online.
