Our Challenge Events

With hundreds of events taking place across the UK, there’s a challenge for everyone. Whether you’re looking to run a half marathon, take on a cycling challenge, brave a firewalk or enjoy an inflatable obstacle course, you can support Little Miracles while doing something unforgettable.

Every challenge helps raise vital funds, enabling us to continue supporting families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions through family support, activities, wellbeing services, and opportunities to connect with others who understand their journey.

How Your Support Changes Lives

Every mile you run, every step you take, and every pound you raise helps create brighter days for children and families facing the challenges of additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.

Your fundraising can make a real and lasting difference:

• £25 could help provide a sensory play session, giving a child the opportunity to explore, learn and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.
• £50 could fund a one-to-one counselling session, offering a parent or carer the space, support and reassurance they need.
• £100 could help a family access vital support, advice and activities, reducing isolation and helping them feel connected to a community that understands.

Since 2010, Little Miracles has supported thousands of families across the East of England. Every challenge completed and every donation received helps ensure that no family has to face their journey alone.

Together, we can continue creating opportunities, building confidence, providing support and making a meaningful difference where it matters most.

"The messages you sent through really helped, thank you. I was really choked by the messages from the children, and after I met up with Sarah at the 70-mile mark where I listened to a couple of them, I rode away with a tear in my eye. Looking forward to a week's rest now!”
— Nick, 'Chase the Sun' South

"Terrifying. Electric. Worth it! The fire was hot, and very real—but so was the reason. One deep breath, a few bold steps, and suddenly fear flipped into pure adrenaline. You’re across before your brain can panic.
You didn’t just face the fire—you carry the stories, hopes, and courage of the families Little Miracles supports. It leaves you feeling lighter, braver, and deeply grateful… like you’ve proven to yourself that fear doesn’t get the final say!”
— Ruth, Fire Walker

"Our employer supports a charity each year and we decided to take part in an Inflatable 5k Obstacle Course in Lincoln to raise much needed funds for Little Miracles, our designated charity for 2025.
The event itself was well-organised and fantastic fun with marshals throughout the course who encouraged us along and there were good vantage points for our supporters to watch our progress during the event. The weather was generally kind with only a little bit of rain which made the obstacles slippery, but it added to the fun. We were delighted to raise over £750 for Little Miracles!"
- Kate, Lincoln Inflatable Race

"Milo and I were bright-eyed and waggy-tailed for our dog Jog, pleased to be combining our walkies with raising money for Little Miracles."
- Karen, DogJog
