2.6 Challenge! - We need you!

We’re inviting you, your family and friends to take part in The 2.6 Challenge from Sunday 26 April to help us raise vital funds to carry on our work.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on charities, with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in fundraising income. The 2.6 Challenge will launch on Sunday 26 April – what should have been the date of the 40th London Marathon.

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 us, you can set up a fundraising page here: 2.6 We'd love to see 26 families, and especially children help us!

People of all ages are taking on The 2.6 Challenge – 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 – if you need help there are lots of ideas here

2.      Head to 2.6 to donate £26 – or whatever you can afford – to Dads Rock or to set up a fundraising page

3.      Ask all your friends/family to sponsor you and challenge them to do their own 2.6 Challenge

4.      Complete your challenge

5.      Share a photo or video of your challenge on social media with #TwoPointSixChallenge

Thank you! - Team Dads Rock
