• Every penny raised by our members and supporters goes to helping AMEND to provide free information resources and support services to patients and families affected by MEN and related endocrine syndromes and tumours, and to raise awareness into the diseases.  Donations help us keep our membership FREE too.

    If you are organising a fundraising event of your own, please let us know as we would love to share your news. We have free running vests or tshirts available for all fundraisers.  Keep scrolling down for other resources.

    Our preferred fundraising platform is Total Giving which is a non-profit organisation with minimal charges for charities, unlike other platforms such as JustGiving.  Scroll down for details and a link.

Running Events

  • We have secured 5 spaces in each of the following running events for 2026.  Due to the cost of these events, we have set a minimum fundraising target of £200 per place.  Please use only TotalGiving for your fundraising as this is a non-profit platform with minimal fees.  If you would like a place on any of these running events, please contact Helen:

    • Great Bristol 10k – Sunday 10th May
    • Great Manchester 10k – Sunday 31st May
    • Great North Run – Sunday 13th September (last 2 places remaining!)

  • London Marathon

    AMEND has just one space on the official London Marathon in April 2026 which has now been allocated.  The fundraising target is a minimum of £2000 (which has always been exceeded).  We receive multiple enquiries about this prestigious event and AMEND reserves the right to choose our runner from all applicants (who are asked to provide details of why they wish to run and an estimate of potential fundraising level).

    If you are interested in fundraising for AMEND by running in this event, please send your expression of interest with a realistic estimate of the total funds you will raise to Helen in the office.

  • Virtual Challenges

    Virtual challenges can help you make exercising into a habit. You are 4 times more likely to achieve your goal if you also join a Conqueror challenge, because it helps you setup a SMART fitness goal and it motivates you from start to finish.

    Completing any of the challenges rewards you with a stunning finisher’s medal that will stand up in your collection.

    You can choose a timeframe for each challenge of up to 78 weeks, and can either complete it solo or as a team

VIRTUAL FUNDRAISING PLATFORM

  • When raising sponsorship for any fundraising events, please use Total Giving.  AMEND is NOT registered with JustGiving (due to costs) and cannot access full data from their site.  Total Giving does much the same as JustGiving and is much more cost-effective for a charity of our size. Thanks!
