Run 50 Miles in Memory this June
When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Playtime is stopped. Independence is taken. Confidence is stolen. But cancer can’t take spirit.
It can’t take that cheeky smile and infectious laugh. Their comforting smell, the inside jokes and precious moments spent together.
This June, we’re asking you to Run 50 Miles in memory. For those who we keep in our thoughts and those who live on in our memories.
Become part of a running community united in remembrance. Share stories, remember the good times and make your loved one proud by dedicating your miles in memory of them.
Signing up is easy:
- Register for your free t-shirt
- Set up your fundraiser in memory of your loved one
- Join our Facebook group
- Ask friends and family to join you in the challenge

- Get running in memory of your loved one
We help families find the strength to face everything cancer throws at them. But we can’t do it without you. By taking on this challenge you will be making a massive difference.

You can start a JustGiving page for your Run 50 Miles in Memory challenge. This is one of the easiest ways to collect your sponsorship. Your money comes directly to Young Lives vs Cancer so you don’t have to worry about admin or bank transfers.
Register and set your page up in just a few seconds by clicking here.
Also a snazzy Young Lives vs Cancer sponsorship form will be included in your fundraising pack! There are handy instructions for how to pay this in on the form. All you need to do is deposit your sponsorship into your own bank account, and then pay this in via our website.
Alternatively, your friends can make a donation through our website – if they choose this option please make sure they include your full name and supporter number in the form – just so we know it’s you!
You can also create a Facebook Fundraiser here.
Unfortunately to set up a fundraiser and to join the Facebook Group, you need to be over 18. However, if you wish to take part and are under 18 please ask a parent or guardian and ask them to set up a fundraiser and join the group on your behalf!
Yes, of course! The more the merrier. Just share the Run 50 Miles in Memory Facebook group with anyone who would like to join.
Yes – you can join from anywhere! Unfortunately we aren’t able to post our fundraising packs internationally, but you can still be a vital part of Team Young Lives for Run 50 Miles in Memory.
We send fundraising packs out twice a week but they can sometimes take 10 – 14 working days to arrive. If your pack has not arrived, please contact us on virtualchallenges@younglivesvscancer.org.uk
We are here with you every step of the way to help you complete your run. We have a support team on hand to give advice and top tips.
If you aren’t able to complete the run, please don’t worry! Please let your sponsors know and send Young Lives vs Cancer an email at virtualchallenges@younglivesvscancer.org.uk
