FUNDRAISING
What's your dream?
Do you yearn for adventure overseas? Are you a keen swimmer wanting to make a bigger splash? Are your legs longing to take on a marathon? Maybe you’re looking to improve your fitness more gradually but need a goal to get things started? Taking on a new challenge and joining #TeamLymphoma this year will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made!
Our Fundraising Team is here to support you every step or stroke of the way and with so many opportunities to make your 2024 really special there’s nothing stopping you! Walk, run, cycle or swim in 2024 and help make sure no one faces lymphoma alone.
“I can’t even put into words the feeling after we’d done the challenge – it was worth every second. If you’re thinking of taking on a challenge of your own – do it! Annabelle.
miles!
Be wheely quick!
We still have places left in the London to Brighton Cycle Ride, which takes place on 15 September 2024 with a sponsorship target of £200 per person. Our Fundraising Team’s full support will be behind you every pedal of the way.
You will pass through quiet country lanes (once out of London!), travelling through Mitcham, Carshalton, Chipstead, Banstead and Haywards Heath before taking on the challenge that is Ditchling Beacon – a mile long climb to the top of the South Downs where you will be rewarded with amazing views of stunning south England. You will finally arrive at Brighton’s seafront for a well-deserved ice cream, having completed a mighty 55 miles.

Fundraising with family and friends
Bringing family and friends together to plan a fundraising event in support of someone special is a hugely rewarding experience, particularly when they are using our services or looking for some positivity during a difficult time.
We are constantly amazed by all the imaginative ways you raise funds for Lymphoma Action. Bake sales, hockey matches, head shaves, crocheting, marmalade and more! We are just so grateful for all that you do.
If you’re searching for some inspiration to get involved this year, look no further.
Big Hair Dare
raised last year!

Whack on a wig, big up your beard, lop off your locks, go the colours of the Lymphoma Action rainbow, or even go the whole hog and shave your head.
We dare you to join our Big Hair Dare bunch! Last year was a big year for this challenge, raising an incredible £30,000!
We had Big Hair Dare parties up and down the country and it was truly inspiring to see just what lengths people were willing to go to, to show their love and support.
Is this the year for you and your hair?

Giving in celebration
Donating for your birthday, wedding, anniversary or other big celebration is a wonderful way to show your support and is quick and easy to arrange. Simply set up an online fundraising page and ask your nearest and dearest to donate rather than buy you a gift. You can use your page to tell them why you have chosen to do so and how much it means to you.
Don’t forget to let us know when you are celebrating so that we can send you balloons and decorations and support all your fundraising efforts.
Email fundraising@lymphoma-action.org.uk to get started today and receive your fundraising pack.
The power of cake!
No-one does tea and cake as a nation better than we do, so let’s harness that sweet power for good.
Put the kettle on, dust off the cake mixer, gather your friends and family and make a difference for lymphoma together. We have resources to make your gatherings extra special and while we can’t offer a Hollywood handshake for your efforts, we can promise a wonderful sense of achievement from your sugary social!
Bridges of London 2024
Our flagship walking event is back! Join us in London on Sunday 19 May to cross the most iconic bridges in the capital and have a fantastic, family-friendly, feel-good day out. The view from each bridge is just fantastic and it’s a brilliant event for all generations to enjoy, which is what we think makes it extra special.
The Bridges of London walk is one of the most important events in our fundraising calendar and last year’s event was incredible. We’re looking forward to making this year even bigger and better! You can go at your own pace, so all ages and abilities are welcome, and you’ll be raising vital funds to support people affected by lymphoma.
“Thanks to everyone yesterday, the walk was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed it and it was for such a great cause too.
New for 2024! A brand new registration venue and a lovely new finish line over the iconic London Bridge with stunning views across the river – a perfect start and end to your day!

Registration is just £10 (£5 per child) and we ask that all adult walkers raise a minimum of £150. Places are filling fast, so sign up today to receive your free T-shirt and fundraising pack.
