We often have places in other popular events, including The London Marathon, The Great North Run and the Royal Parks Half Marathon and we can also help you set up a walking, cycling, swimming or other event or something even more extreme! Please get in touch with us (our contact details are below) for more information.

If running or cycling is not for you, there are loads of other ways you can get involved. Some of the things other people do include:

Organising a coffee morning, holding a cake sale, having a dress-down day at work or school, holding a music or comedy gig, doing a sponsored car wash, having a garden party, a sponsored swim, silence, walk etc….

Just email matt@rarechromo.org if you’d like to fundraise and if you’re not sure what you’d like to do, we can maybe help with some ideas!

If you’re organising an event we can help. Where possible we provide fundraisers with a t-shirt or running vest and for events like coffee mornings and cake sales other materials such as flyers, balloons and posters. Please contact our Engagement and Communications Officer, Matt on matt@rarechromo.org or telephone +44(0)1883 723306 to talk to one of our team.
