Welcome to Challenge Yourself – East Cheshire Hospice’s campaign for those who want to push their limits while making a real difference. Whether you’re running, hiking, cycling, or doing something entirely your own way, every step, stride or sprint helps us continue providing expert, compassionate care to local people when they need it most.
There are plenty of ways to get involved! Discover our challenge options and begin your journey today – our fundraising team is here to support you every step of the way. Together, you can help East Cheshire Hospice by taking on a challenge.
Set your own rules, your own pace, your own challenge. Pick an activity that inspires you and set yourself a goal – big or small.
Whether it’s cycling across the country, hosting a 24-hour danceathon, climbing the equivalent of Mount Everest on your stairs, or giving up something you love for a month – the DIY Challenge is all about doing what motivates you.
Take it on solo, gather in your mates, or rally a team. Choose a date that suits you and raise money your way to support the care East Cheshire Hospice provides every day.
Our third party challenges are organised and managed by professional challenge companies. You may be familiar with Born Survivor, Fire & Ice Walks, Wingwalks, Skydives and UK treks to overseas adventures.
Simply sign up to an organised event that inspires you, and let us know – we’ll support you every step of the way with fundraising tips, resources, and encouragement.
Choose your challenge! Run for Charity showcase 800 of the biggest events in the UK from fun runs, 5K, 10k, half marathons, marathons, ultra runs and obstacle races. With so many different events through the UK, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Simply join one of the organised challenge events/secure a charity place in a major race, register your own place and then let us know you’re supporting East Cheshire Hospice by emailing fundraising@echospice.org.uk
We’ll be on hand to support you with your fundraising, keep you motivated with your training, and we’ll send you an East Cheshire Hospice challenge t-shirt for you to wear!
Choose your ultra challenge and push yourself further! Ultra Challenge is a series of endurance events across the UK, offering participants the chance to walk, jog or run iconic routes ranging from 25km to 100km. With a focus on personal achievement and fundraising, each challenge provides fully supported routes, rest stops, and a great team spirit.
We’ll provide you with:
Of course! From giving something up to hosting an event or taking on a creative challenge, there’s something for everyone.
Visit our Challenge Yourself page, choose the option that suits you best (DIY, Third-Party Events, Run for Charity, or Ultra Challenge Series), and sign up or get in touch. We’ll help you take the next steps from there.
It depends on your challenge. DIY and running challenges have flexible targets – just aim high and do your best. Some third-party events may have minimum fundraising requirements, especially for places that include costs like travel or entry fees.
Yes! Many of our challenge options can be done as a group – whether it’s friends, colleagues, or family. Fundraising as a team is a great way to stay motivated and hit your target together.
