About Cheeky Monkey's Marathon Challenge

The Challenge is extremely simple: children get sponsored to tackle an activity linked to the number 26 – the number of miles in a marathon. What your children do is up to you – we’ve provided a great list of really popular ideas on our Challenge Ideas page for you to browse through.

You (or the children) choose a Challenge and decide on a date when you would like to complete it.

The children then gather sponsorship from friends and family using our handy sponsorship envelope. We even provide a letter template for the children to take home which explains the Challenge to their parents.

Then you all have a great time completing the Challenge!

You count up all the money that the children have raised - remember, your school or organisation can opt to keep up to half of the total raised - and you then send the rest back to CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA. You can send in your donation online or by post.

When you send in your donation, you let us know which souvenirs your children would like and we will send those out to you along with an official certificate to say thanks for all your efforts.

It really is that simple!
