Challenge Events

Challenge events are a fantastic way to push your limits while raising vital funds for Little Miracles. Every mile, climb or step you take helps support families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or trying something completely new, challenge events are an inspiring way to achieve something special while helping local families. They also bring people together, boost team spirit and are a lot of fun along the way.

Donate to Little Miracles or Fundraise with us to make an even bigger impact.

Why Take Part?

By joining a challenge event, you’ll:

  • Make a lasting difference to children and families in your community

  • Challenge yourself physically and mentally

  • Meet other supporters and share an unforgettable experience

Our friendly fundraising team will be with you every step, jump and leap of the way, offering advice, resources and encouragement.

Our Challenge Events

There are hundreds of events to choose from across the UK. From half-marathons and cycling tours to firewalks and inflatable races, there’s something for everyone.

Each event helps us raise vital funds so we can continue providing family support, counselling, play sessions and respite care to those who need it most.

How Your Support Helps

Every pound you raise goes directly towards supporting local families.

  • £25 could fund a sensory play session for children with additional needs.

  • £50 could provide a one-to-one counselling session for a parent or carer.

  • £100 could support a family for a week with vital advice and activities.

Since 2010, Little Miracles has supported thousands of families across the East of England. Our work is made possible through the generosity of fundraisers like you.

Meet Our Fundraisers

"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

"I couldn’t think of a better cause to support.”
— Ben Allan, Corporate Supporter who climbed Everest
