Paddys Challenge: How Will You Roll?

Get Behind Paddy McGuinness for his Ultra Endurance Cycle Challenge: How Will You Roll?

This November, Paddy McGuinness is gearing up for a challenge like no other: a 300-mile ride across three nations on a classic Chopper bike!

It’s not just about Paddy though – it’s also about YOU. We want you to take on your very own challenge-on-wheels, whether you do it solo, with family members, friends or colleagues, or as part of any other team. It’s a challenge everyone can enjoy together.

By taking part in this challenge you’ll be helping us to support vital projects that offer local support to children and young people all across the UK. Currently, we can only fund one in eight projects that ask for funding, and so we’ve never needed your help and support more.

How Will You Roll? You can cycle, scoot, skate, push a pram – simply join the fun in any way you can think of.

No likey – no bikey? No problem! You can use any wheels you like – it’s all about getting involved, getting fitter, spending quality time with others and raising vital funds.

Paddy is riding his own route, but your challenge can be done anywhere, anytime, in any way.

Step 2

Whether you roll for 3 miles, 30 miles, or challenge yourself with 300, every mile makes a difference!

Let’s raise some serious cash together.

Step 4

Roll at your own pace

Start whenever you’re ready and aim to complete your challenge by the time Paddy crosses his finish line on 15th November. You can do it solo or as part of a team, dividing the miles between you.

Step 5

Roll with the rest of us

Join the Facebook group for tips, support and a good bit of banter as we all take on this wheely big challenge!

Don’t Miss out! Be in the first 1,000 to sign up and get FREE Pudsey ears!

How your fundraising helps

Right now, BBC Children in Need can only fund 1 in 8 organisations that approach them for help. Children and young people are facing all kinds of difficulties, from poverty to illness. Together, we can change that.

Let’s make life lighter for children across the UK by rolling, fundraising and having a bit of fun along the way.
