An exciting new campaign has been launched this week by the London Marathon to help save the UK’s charities. The 2.6 Challenge aims to help charities that are seeing their fundraising income decimated by the coronavirus lockdown and the resulting postponement or cancellation of events that would normally raise vital funds.
Music in Hospitals & Care needs you to step up to the challenge and join us ?
How can I get involved?
• Donate £26 to the campaign page
• Join us on Sunday 26th April (the original date of the 40th London Marathon) on our Facebook page as we take on our #TwoPointSixChallenge Music Marathon – 26 musicians each playing 26 minute sets from their homes. Expect Music in Hospitals & Care favourites plus some special guests. You can find the full line up and set times on the Facebook event.
• Set your own challenge based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 to complete in the next two weeks. Sing 26 songs, dance 2.6km in your home, do 260 star jumps, do it all at the same time! ⭐?
Once you have decided on your challenge, use the button below to create a fundraising page and start sharing with your friends and family. Don’t forget to let us know what you are up to so we can cheer you on.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s do something amazing.
