Join the twopointsix challenge!

The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday 26 April – what should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon, the world’s biggest one-day annual fundraising event.

We’re asking you to take part in an activity of your choice based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and fundraise or donate to support Shared Lives Plus through the twopointsix challenge! https://twopointsixchallenge.justgiving.com/fundraise

How can I take part?

People of all ages are taking on The 2.6 Challenge with a host of activities – from walking, running or cycling 2.6 miles, juggling for 2.6 minutes, to holding online workouts with 26 friends. The ideas and options are endless!

The only requirement is that you must follow Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing. Most people are taking part from Sunday 26 April but you can do your activity whenever is most convenient for you.

There are just five simple steps to take:

1. Dream up your 2.6 challenge
2. Head to https://twopointsixchallenge.justgiving.com/fundraise to set up a fundraising page for Shared Lives Plus
3.  Ask all your friends and family to sponsor you and challenge them to do their own 2.6 Challenge
4. Complete your challenge
5. Donate £26 via Just Giving – or whatever you can raise ­– to Shared Lives Plus! https://twopointsixchallenge.justgiving.com/get-involved
6. Share a photo or video of your challenge on social media with #TwoPointSixChallenge and #SharedLives

Thank you for your efforts – big or small! We can’t wait to see your photos and videos! Thank you so much for your support.
