The Brain Charity can get you a place at thousands of the UK’s most popular and exciting charity challenge events.
Everyone who joins our team and pledges to raise at least £200 will receive a Brain Charity t-shirt, cycling jersey or running vest to wear during their challenge and receive a medal to celebrate their achievements.
We only share a selection of our incredible challenges here, so if you can’t find the one you’re looking for, get in touch via the form at the bottom of this page and we’ll be happy to help make your fundraising dreams a reality!

We have options for you to purchase your own place and choose to raise funds for The Brain Charity with no minimum sponsorship, or we can purchase your place for you and set you a fundraising target. Let us know your preference when you get in touch!
