You could wash 20 cars, run 20miles, do a 20 hour sponsored silence – the possibilities are endless! To take part, simple select the virtual challenge option at registration, or if you have already registered, you can opt into the challenge by clicking on “Edit this Supporter Page” under your profile image.

If you feel that you might not be able to reach the goal, please don’t worry – we appreciate that you are taking part and helping to raise funds for Charity Week.
