This year we’ve had nothing but great feedback from our ‘fundraising families’ about the Inflatable 5k Challenge; so we wanted to encourage everyone to get involved in this fun fundraising event!
Our CEO Jodi Whitehouse and her husband Adam braved taking on the Inflatable 5k Challenge with their 3 young boys aged 5, 7 and 9 years in June 2024. Here’s what Jodi had to say about the event…
This fundraising challenge was just perfect for our family! My boys absolutely loved tackling the 5k inflatable obstacle course and were very proud once they completed the race and received their medals!
The cost per person to take part in the challenge was £25 and we had a fundraising target of £100 per person. For our family, it was achievable to reach the £500 total as we were able to share our fundraising webpage link in the boys’ class WhatsApp groups, their football teams’ WhatsApp groups and on our own social media platforms too.
The day itself was lots of fun as the boys enjoyed the buzz around the venue, meeting up with other CMN families who also took part in the challenge, getting their medals (!) and having a picnic on the field after the event in the sunshine!
For us as parents, the information we received from the event organisers in the build up to the day made the whole experience enjoyable. Venue was local, parking was easy (small charge on the day), not masses of crowds as everyone had a specific time slot to do the challenge, we were all provided with water bottles during the run, and the entertainment and amenities on the site were great; including coffee, food and ice-cream vans.
I would highly recommend this event for all ages!
