Challenge events

It was sunrise success at the weekend, as 30 intrepid trekkers took on the ultimate challenge of climbing Mount Snowdon at night to reach the summit for sunrise.

Are you ready for our latest supersonic challenge that’s sure to be a blast? From the 1st of March we’re calling all budding astronauts to join us on a very special mission – the Shooting Star Space Race.

The ongoing pandemic meant that many events got pushed back to the autumn meaning September and October have been jam packed with fabulous fundraisers!

On Friday 22 October, Rt Hon Dominic Raab MP took on a skydive, jumping from 15,000 feet to raise money for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

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!
