why?

Help us continue to fund vital medical research in the face the COVID-19 pandemic.

For children with conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, kidney disease and leukaemia, life is even more challenging at the moment.

Whilst the world is turned upside down by coronavirus, they still need our help to develop treatments, vaccinations and cures that could save lives. Research can bring hope to these families.

Completing a Virtual Challenge helps us to stay fit and have fun together whilst spreading awareness of the need to fund vital medical research.
