Hospital to Hospital
Virtual challenge for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month (CCAM)
Take part in our brand-new virtual Hospital to Hospital Challenge and help us raise funds to support those affected by retinoblastoma.
We’re challenging you to cover 122 miles (one-way) or go the extra mile with 244 miles (round trip) in 30 days – the distance between The Royal London Hospital and Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the only two hospitals in the UK treating retinoblastoma.
How you do it is up to you – walk, cycle, swim, skate, or mix it up! You can take part on your own, participate as a family or as a team, and complete the distance in your own time and pace.
Every mile you move and every pound you raise will support our work.

What your hard work and funds do for those affected by retinoblastoma:
Could fund a Pip the Penguin, a toy given to our brave children adjusting to life after enucleation (removal of the eye/s). Pip helps children understand and find courage during one of the toughest moments in their lives.
Could fund a face-to-face support session for a newly diagnosed family, ensuring they have someone to guide them through the emotional and practical challenges of cancer treatment.
Could fund a place at a regional event for a family feeling isolated, giving them the opportunity to meet others who truly understand their circumstances.
Could fund a support grant for a family facing financial hardship, ensuring they can access the support they need without worrying about the cost.
