In 2023, the Dog Walking Challenge was taken on by one of our smallest supporters but biggest fundraisers. Charlie who was just 8 years old, started the challenge because his dad's best friend, Uncle Ben was diagnosed with a brain tumour, and he wanted to do something to help.

Without a dog of his own, Charlie borrowed other people's dogs to take on the challenge with Uncle Ben's Labradors, Digby and Bertie, being his favourites. Sadly, 2 weeks into the challenge Uncle Ben passed away. Suddenly the challenge took a different focus and 'it felt like we were doing it for Ben'. Charlie ended up raising an incredible £11,500 and topping the fundraisers leaderboard. Charlie took on the challenge again in 2024 and raised a further £3,300. We are forever inspired by people like Charlie and his family who Stand Up To Cancer.

WHAT DOES THE STAND UP TO CANCER DOG WALKING CHALLENGE INVOLVE?

Supporters raise money by stepping up to the challenge of walking 60 miles (or whatever personal challenge they set themselves) throughout April with their four-legged friend. They can split the miles in a way that suits them, but we recommend around 2 miles every day of the month.

DO I NEED TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE THAT I HAVE COMPLETED MY MILES?

We trust you! You don’t need to provide evidence to us that you’ve completed the challenge. But updating your friends and family on your online fundraising page can really help your fundraising. Supporters who regularly post their progress raise 40% more on average.

DO I NEED TO COMPLETE THIS CHALLENGE IN APRIL? CAN I START MY CHALLENGE LATE OR EARLY?

While we encourage everyone to complete the challenge in April, this is a personal challenge. You can start or finish your challenge whenever works best for you.
