Runs & challenges

We have a variety of runs and challenges for you to take part in; all of the monies that you raise will help #FightEB whilst you take on your personal challenge, maybe the challenge of a lifetime!

There are a range of challenges but if you cannot find one listed below that is what you are looking for, there are plenty more to choose from at Ultra Challenge, Discover Adventure, Charity Challenge or in your local area as there are often things going on where you can take part and choose to fundraise for DEBRA.

Please contact the Supporter Services Team if you need further information or wish to suggest a new challenge event. Not up for a challenge? Check out our other fundraising activities.
