Are you ready for the experience of a lifetime while raising money for a worthy cause? There are endless challenge events on offer with Shooting Star incorporating running, walking, swimming, climbing, racing, skydiving and many more. There are also fantastic opportunities to fundraise abroad, such as cycling in Vietnam or trekking through the Sahara desert. In 2008, our supporters ran through London's beautiful parks, scaled the three highest peaks in the UK and cycled around Cuba and India.

And the list is not exhaustive! If you have a desire to do something in particular, no matter how unusual, we will be delighted to help you achieve your goal. Recent tailor-made challenges include two brothers swimming the lakes of the Lake District and a 100-person strong spinathon in west London. 

"I'm not a great runner, but I really wanted to help The Shooting Star Children's Hospice. My first run was the British 10k London Run in 2006 and since then I have completed this race again in 2007, plus two Great North Runs. Knowing I was running for such a worthwhile cause helped with both the training and the races on the day. There is no better way of pushing yourself along than knowing your money (however small) is helping children and their families during what must be the most difficult time of their lives."
Matt Anning, supporter
