Your distance, your challenge, your impact
Go the Distance is about choosing a distance challenge that feels meaningful to you - big or small, competitive or personal.
Sign up, pick a distance goal and complete it your way throughout April - walking, running, cycling, swimming or mixing it up - while raising funds to help bring life-saving CAR T-cell therapy closer to home.
The goal is simple: choose your distance, move during April, and fundraise as you go.
