12 days of Christmas challenge

Do you want to support The Christie this Christmas? Take on The Christie Challenge and help us keep make sure we can be there for people with cancer.

If you're planning a 12 days of Christmas challenges event as part of The Christie Challenge or as a standalone fundraising activity, please create a JustGiving page in support of The Christie using the button below.

Looking to do a 12 days of Christmas challenges event with your school over the festive season? You could do this as part of our school fundraising challenge 60 for The Christie.

Pick a different 60-themed exercise for each of the 12 days of Christmas, and get as many people at your school to take part. Do a 60-minute workout, cycle for 60km or learn 60 TikTok dances - be creative!

Looking to get a head start on your New Year’s fitness resolutions? You could take part in a sponsored challenge to stay active every day for 12 days this December, with a 12 days of Christmas challenges event.

To start with, plan what exercise (or exercises!) you want to do on every day of your 12 days of Christmas challenges event. Whether you want to run, walk, swim, skip, hop, or cycle, just pick something that works for you.

If you’re looking for a new hobby, why not take on a different sport for each day of your 12 days of Christmas challenges event? People are more likely to donate if you’re doing something out of your comfort zone.

This is a great challenge to do with friends and family or even with your colleagues from work – the more the merrier!

You can start your 12 days of Christmas challenges event any day in December, whenever works best for you. If you want to have an extra-special finish, start it on 14 December – that way, you’ll finish on Christmas day.

If you’re looking to organise a 12 days of Christmas challenges event for The Christie Charity, get in touch and request a fundraising pack from us. We can send you out a pack of fundraising tips for your event and a sponsor form to collect your money.
