You’ll get a free t-shirt when you register and a fundraisers medal once you have reached your £100 fundraising target, and encouragement from hundreds of other participants through the Facebook group.
Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow under 18s to set up a Facebook Fundraiser. However, under 18s can still take part in the Run 100 Miles in June challenge with a guardian and fundraise through JustGiving.
Facebook fundraisers are one of the easiest ways to collect your sponsorship. All donations come directly to Young Lives vs Cancer so you don’t have to worry about admin or bank transfers. Facebook do not charge us for this service, so 100% of your donations reach us!

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 facebookchallenges@younglivesvscancer.org.uk.
Sadly, Facebook does not yet allow people without an account to donate to their fundraisers. If you think most of the connections who would like to support you do not have Facebook, you may be better off setting up a JustGiving fundraising page or 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!
