We are always delighted to hear of new challenges that people are doing for Merlin, and would love to hear ideas that you have.

Over the years, people have been kind (and adventurous) enough to take on a wide variety of challenges for Merlin.

Marathons and half marathons have been run in Berlin, London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Windsor and Amathunta in Cyprus. Football tournaments and a classical music concert have been organised. Treks have been walked in Borneo and across the West Highland Way. Bikes have been ridden from London to Paris, and through China. Mountains have been climbed including Mount Everest, Gasherbrum II, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon. All raising vital funds for Merlin’s work. 

"I cycled 250 miles in five days throughout Beijing Province in China with 18 other people.  Cycle challenges are an excellent way to raise awareness and money for Merlin, and I would definitely do it again!"
Liz Hickson, Private Equity Manager
