Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The 2.6 Challenge is a nation-wide virtual event launching on the 26 April 2020.
Team Mind need you more now than ever, join us today and get active, have fun, and pledge to fundraise whatever you can.

About the event

The outbreak of coronavirus is affecting all our lives in lots of different ways. With cancellations and postponements of hundreds of runs, walks, and cycle rides, including the London Marathon, charities across the country, including Mind, have been left struggling to maintain their usual income through fundraising events.

As we start to feel the impact of coronavirus on our mental health, it's more important than ever that we take steps to look after ourselves and our wellbeing. Keeping active is a big part of this for so many people. So, whether you're walking 26 laps of your balcony, walking or running 2.6 miles, or doing 26 minutes of gardening, we need your help. Join Team NMU for Mind and find new ways to stay active.

How to get involved

There's no need to be a marathon runner to take part, this is a challenge for all ages and abilities. We're not looking for superheroes, we're looking for Home Heroes.

All you need to do is dream up an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 that suits your skills and complete it on or from Sunday 26 April.

There are no rules, apart from the Government guidelines on how to exercise safely during this time. The main thing is to get active, have fun and help support UK's charities.
