What is the Mini Superhero Challenge?
The Children with Cancer UK “Mini Superhero Challenge” is a nationwide challenge encouraging people to take on a challenge based around the number 12 (in recognition of the 12 children on average, that are diagnosed with cancer in the UK every day).
Who can sign up?
The Children with Cancer UK Mini Superhero Challenge was originally predominantly designed for all schools and youth groups / organisations. We’ve recently adapted our challenge in light of the Coronovirus (COVID-19) pandemic, so the challenge is essentially open to anyone wanting to be a Children with Cancer UK Superhero and help us in our fight against the injustice if childhood cancer. So if you’re an individual or want to sign up as a family, then we’d be absolutely delighted to have you on board.
