October has seen fundraisers take on challenges of all shapes and sizes, from coast-to-coast cycles and half marathons to some unconventional endurance feats. Behind each challenge is a personal story and a cause worth supporting! |

| Celebrating 200 years of yacht racing on the Solent, The King’s Cup 2026 brought world-class sailing and charitable impact together in Cowes.

| | A team of 10 fundraisers went on a 250-mile journey from Chorleywood to Dartmouth aboard The Quadfather - a pedal-powered, four-seater quadracycle! Over eight days, they crossed five counties in support of Brain Tumour Research and Keech Hospice Care, inspired by their own personal experiences with brain tumours. |
|
| | Michael and Julian - The Beery Bikers - took on a month-long cycle, riding through France and into Spain. Together, they’re fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support, the British Heart Foundation and finally Cancer Research UK, with plenty of miles, and a few well-earned beers along the way! |
