The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect on fundraising for charities across the UK. As events have been cancelled, so too has the income they would have generated meaning the most vulnerable in our society will struggle all the more.

For STV Childrens Appeal, events like The Kiltwalk are significant the money raised through these events mean we can disburse funds to hundreds of charities across Scotland who help children and their families fight poverty.

In response, the organisers of the biggest mass participation sports events across the country have come together to create a new campaign to raise vital funds to help our fundraising and save the UKs charities: The 2.6 Challenge, will launch on Sunday 26 April 2020 what should have been the date of the Glasgow Kiltwalk and the 40th London Marathon, the worlds biggest one day annual fundraising event. The challenge will last for a week.

The 2.6 Challenge is open to anyone of any age the only requirement is that the activity must follow the Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing and remember to stay local.

Challengers are being asked to dream up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26, eg a 2.6 mile run, 26 mile exercise bike cycle or 26 laps of your garden, and fundraise for their charity. By donating to STV Children's appeal you will help us to support the most vulnerable children in Scotland. And dont forget that every penny you donate will go directly to those children. No part of your donation will be used for administration or any other costs.

Whether you are making a donation or taking on your own 2.6 challenge - thank you so much!
