Be our hero! Join our 20:20 campaign and fundraise for MDS UK
8 Sep. 2021
The 20for20 Challenge is back!
2020 was a difficult time for everyone especially small charities. So 20 small charities came together to brainstorm and the result was to do 20 challenges over 20 days.
For MDS UK the campaign proved immensely successful. 943 supporters and MDS patients raised £37,461 which allowed us to keep supporting MDS patients during the pandemics.
We are pleased to announce that 20for20 challenge will begin again on the 20th September 2021 and run until just before Christmas 2021!
You can start and finish anytime within this time frame, doing 20 of the same challenges or 20 different challenges. Some examples of the inventive fundraising challenges last year were riding a bike, walking, painting, writing poems, eating 20 pancakes, face painting, car washing, assault course, lego making, disco dancing and dressing up.
Donna, one of our superstars fundraisers told us:
I did my challenges with my husband and then 12 year old twin boys. It gave us a purpose for 20 days to come together as a family and we had so much fun and laughter and it brought us closer together as a family.
If you don’t fancy doing 20 challenges, following on from the Olympics this year, supporters can do one challenge and then ‘Pass the Baton on’ for the next person to do their challenge!
Please email us fundraising@mdspatientsupport.org.uk and take part in 1 or 20 challenges
