The 2.6 Challenge is a simple and fun way for everyone to do their bit to help save the UKs charities.

Story

Due to the current situation, thousands of fundraising events have been cancelled and many charities, particularly smaller ones, are struggling to maintain services because of this huge reduction in income. This impacts all sectors of society.

I have decided to complete the 2.6 challenge, crafting a 26-item smoothie challenge, all donations going to Friends of Serenity who work incredibly hard to prevent and support people through baby loss - take a look at their page to find out more about what they do. I know from personal family experience that what they are doing is making a huge impact for people's lives. 

The idea of this challenge is that when you donate (whatever amount) you can suggest an item - nice or nasty - to go into the smoothie as your comment. I will then stick all suggestions in a bowl and make the concoction, drink it in 2.6 minutes, and film the experience for everyone's enjoyment. You're welcome. 

Thanks so much for supporting this wonderful charity through these particularly challenging times.

About the charity

Friends of Serenity

RCN 1157866
Friends of Serenity aims to preserve and protect the health of sick pregnant women and those who have suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death in particular but not exclusively by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities, Serenity Suites and equipment at East Lancashire Women and New Born Centre not normally provided by the statutory authorities. We work hard to support newly bereaved parents through the provision of memory boxes and miscarriage keepsakes. By dressing their babies we hope to make distressing and devastating time a little more comforting by taking the pressure off them. These are provided in East Lancashire and throughout the country on public requirement. Additionally, we strive to provide qualified information by any means appropriate on the 2nd most common chromosome disorder Trisomy 13.
