In support of our nominated charity 'Children with Cancer UK' and to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of SQEP, the SQEP10 Challenge 'Global Edition' was born.

This challenge will see team SQEP travel a distance of over 40,000km to simulate a complete revolution around the world.

But there is a twist! The last 500km will be completed by a contingent of SQEP that are participating in the London Marathon. If team SQEP do not cover the required distance in advance of the marathon, then the whole challenge fails. If the marathon runners do not complete the distance on the 27th April 2025, then the whole challenge fails. This is unquestionably a case of all for one and one for all!

On a personal level 11th April 2025 will be the fortieth anniversary of the death of my sister Lizzie from cancer such a brave young lady she fought it with amazing determination and not a little dark humour. Knowing the impact on children with this disease and their families makes support to Children With Cancer so fitting. Our mother also passed away from cancer making this cause even closer to my heart. So I would welcome as much support as possible in achieving our fundraising target. Thank you so much.
