Take On A Challenge For Us
‘‘I’ve never seem my son play football, train for a swimming gala or wear out a pair of shoes but his achievements in being able to compete in dance have made me so proud” Billy, the father of one of the Para Dance UK athletes.
******************************************************
Taking on a challenge, sporting or otherwise, is a great way to put your limits to the test, whilst at the same time raising funds for Para Dance UK.
Whilst we are not currently in a position to run our own events or buy places in others, there is a host of events out there for you to take part in. You can participate in an pre-arranged event, or create your own sponsored challenge on behalf of Para Dance UK, and they don’t have to be as tough as they often sound!
So whether you want to walk, run, swim or trek, close to home or far afield, we are would be grateful for you to do so on behalf of those who want to Dance.
Whether you have your own place or want to take on a challenge please let us know what you are doing so we can support you all the way at fundraising@paradance.org.uk
ALREADY HAVE YOUR OWN PLACE
One of the ways you can raise money for us is to take part in a national or local event from a fun run to a tough mudder, a cycle ride to a triathlon. If you already have a place or are seeking to secure yourself a place, either as an individual or as a team, we would love to hear from you, so please contact us to see how we can support you, or just let us know and use the tools below.
TAKE ON A CHALLENGE
If you are looking for a once in a lifetime experience or have something on your bucket list you want to tick off, whether running, cycling or trekking is your thing, either in the UK or overseas, from cycling in the Lake District to treking in Peru, you can raise money for us whilst you do it.
Whether you want to take on a challenge as an individual or in a group of family, friends or work colleagues, there is something for you to take on.
Take a look at the following companies we are registered with and see what they have to inspire you:

If you're more of an adrenaline junkie, then a skydive might be the way for you. Experience the adrenaline fuelled freefall through the clouds, and then gliding back down with views over the beautiful countryside whilst raising funds at the same time.

ACCESSIBLE EVENTS
As we come across events that are more accessible and more inclusive we will list them here as they may have more interest to some supporters, making it easier for them to take part.
- BLENHEIM FUN 7K RUN - www.blenheim7k.co.uk – they hold a children’s 1 mile event and buggy and wheelchair events.
- SUPERHEROS SERIES – www.superheroseries.co.uk - It is the UK’s one and only disability sports series for the Everyday Superhero! The idea is simple; to create fun, full-throttle mass-participation challenges where people with disabilities call the shots and don’t have to worry about cut-off times or equipment restrictions. You can fly solo or team up with family and friends to do as much or as little as you wish.
Please let us know if you come across any events that you feel would be useful to share so we can add them to the list
