Every year Onelife takes on a fundraising event called 'The Challenge'. This year, The Challenge was for young people all over the UK to do a sponsored run, bike ride or walk for Onelife so that together we could cover the distance of the entire way around the UK - 4,500 km!
When was it?
Friday 1st July until Sunday 3rd........ because we all know Friday is part of the weekend!
How did it work?
Before the weekend everyone pledged how far they are going to cover so that we could keep a running total on how well we were doing.
Sponsorship.
After the event sponsorship money was collected and sent to Onelife via cheque. Onelife is a small organisation with a big vision and needs financial support to continue its work and expansion – particularly to employ an operations manager!
Leading the Challenge
To give you the opportunity to lead we set the 100km challenge. Young people organise groups of people to cover 100km between them. If you pledged to be responsible for covering 100km or more you received a free Onelife T-shirt! You could put on an event or just go with a group of friends.
News Update
We had over 5000km pledged by young people all over the UK. If everyone did what they said they would do then we totally smashed this challenge! Well Done!
There is still money coming in, but so far we have raised over £2500. GREAT NEWS!
More on the vision...
Encircling the UK is not only a huge challenge but symbolic of Onelife’s vision for the UK. It is like marking the ring in which young people ‘fight’ for God’s Kingdom – a physical demonstration of where we long for God to move. We are a network of young leaders from all across the UK physically and spiritually running together to change for Jesus!!!
