Every penny raised by our members and supporters goes to helping AMEND to provide information and support to patients and families affected by MEN and related endocrine syndromes and tumours, and to fund research into the diseases. We provide all this for free.
If you are organising an event, let us know as we would love to share your news. We have free t-shirts or baseball caps 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. Scroll down for details and a link.

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
