Challenge events

On a bright and fresh Sunday morning, 17 October, hundreds of early birds took part in the Guildford Sunrise Walk to raise vital funds for families supported by Shooting Star Children’s Hospices – raising £33,000 and counting.

Running a marathon is as much of a challenge mentally as it is physically, and for the amazing team of runners set to complete this year’s London Marathon in aid of Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, the build-up has been all the more difficult due to the pressures and changes the pandemic has brought. 

After two years of planning, one global pandemic and three rescheduled dates our first ever Sunrise Walk Snowdon event took place last weekend! 

Andrew Coppel, our Chair of the Board of Trustees, took on a super cycling challenge this August to raise money for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. 

In October, Dominic Raab MP will be skydiving from 15,000 feet to raise money for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices. 

June marked our Virtual Sunrise Walk month – asking our super supporters to see the sunrise their way whilst raising money for their local children’s hospice charity – and support us they did – raising an amazing £10,345!

This month marks our Virtual Sunrise Walk – asking people to join us throughout June to chose a walk of their choice and experience it at sunrise. Emma, and her triumphant team of teachers share the reason they are embarking on their own Sunrise Walk to raise money for their local children’s hospice charity. 

The 1st of June marks the start of our Virtual Sunrise Walk where you can see the sunrise your way and help us raise money for the families we support. So a group of our fundraising team came together recently to kick start the month and complete their own Sunrise Walk.

As we welcome the return of longer brighter days that can mean one thing – our much-loved Sunrise Walks are back!

This month marks the launch of our first ever Shooting Star Space Race and our out of this world team are blasting through the Earth miles we need achieve our supersonic task, with one family having a particularly special reason they are taking part in this cosmic challenge.
