Charities
This event is jointly organised by Over The Wall Children’s Charity, Action Medical Research, and Liberty (our generous Lead Sponsor). The event is also directly benefitting The Felix Project and The Brain Tumour Charity. Participants can choose to support whichever of the four charities most resonates with their charitable focus, safe in the knowledge that every penny raised will support their chosen cause – with all event costs covered by Liberty.
If this unique urban challenge appeals to you, why not recruit a team of like-minded friends or colleagues and sign up collectively. You can spur each other on when times get tough. All participants can bring up to three spectators to join them at the finishers’ reception, giving you the ultimate base for a London family day out after.
Over The Wall Children's Charity
Owing to long-term health conditions, more than 1 in 10 children in the UK can be denied a carefree childhood, and this number is growing. Over The Wall is a UK based charity for children and young people with health challenges and disabilities to discover a world of mischief and magic. We provide a safe place to step outside of comfort zones, establish friendships and build confidence through meaningful and exciting activities. These amazing experiences are in-person at residential camp, and also available online with Camp in the Cloud. And what’s more, it’s all free!
Action Medical Research
Action Medical Research is the leading UK-wide charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies and children. We have been funding medical breakthroughs since we began in 1952 and almost everyone has been touched in some way by our groundbreaking work like the first UK polio vaccines, ultrasound in pregnancy and the rubella vaccine. The research we have funded has helped save thousands of children’s lives and changed many more.
The Felix Project
The Felix Project is London's largest food redistribution charity on a mission to see a London where no good food goes to waste and no one goes hungry. We rescue good quality surplus food from across the supply chain and redistribute this to community organisations all around London who are supporting people who may be facing food insecurity. Last year we were able to rescue over 13,000 tonnes of food and redistribute the equivalent of 32 million meals! We can only do this with your help, every £10 raised enables us to get 26 meals to Londoners in need.
The Brain Tumour Charity
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world’s leading brain tumour charity. Committed to saving and improving lives, we fund world-class research across the global eco-system of experts to find cures and better treatments. We offer the highest level of wrap-around care and support with clinics for children and young families, welfare, benefits and mental health as well as driving urgent change by raising awareness and campaigning for more national support. By supporting The Brain Tumour Charity, you are helping to redress the imbalance and inequality that exists when someone is diagnosed. Through your donation, we are able to provide the care, support and treatment pathways that would otherwise never be available to them.
