Fundraising For The 13,000
The "For The 13,000" Challenge is an inclusive and accessible campaign where participants have pledged to complete various activities, aiming to reach a combined target of 13,000. The activities range from physical exercises like walking and running to creative endeavours like baking or crafting.
Why 13,000?
We are driven by our mission to bring hope and resolution to the families of the 13,000 unidentified and missing people across the UK. Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new fundraising campaign: the "For The 13,000" Challenge.
Our founder, Dave Grimstead, has committed to cycling 1,000 miles on his spin bike throughout August. Inspired by his dedication, many others have joined the cause with their unique challenges.
