Based on the London Marathon (26 miles) the challenge is to raise £67m nationwide (the amount raised annually by the LM) which will be distributed to charities through Just Giving and Virgin Money.
The initiative is designed for people to get active by doing something 26 times eg skip, hop, walk 2.6 km etc and raise funds by doing doing it, the target is £26/person (which could go directly to our Charities, when participants use Just Giving/Virgin Money)
