What is Challenge 24?
Challenge 24 has been designed in honour of the 24 people who die every day in the UK from pancreatic cancer. This is unacceptable and so we are challenging you to take on a '24' inspired fundraiser this November.
You could walk, jog or cycle 24 miles throughout November or create your very own challenge, it' entirely up to you.
