Challenge Events

This is your chance to do a once-in-a lifetime overseas challenge or something closer to home here in the UK.  Either way you can be satisfied that you will be raising vital raise money to help sick children and their families across the UK at the same time. 

You could run a marathon or triathlon, trek at altitude up Kilimanjaro or in the Himalayas or simply enjoy a walk in the countryside with friends and family, we have a range of events for you to take part in on behalf of WellChild.

Here are examples of some of the challenges WellChild supporters have done on our behalf...
