By taking on a challenge event for Together for Short Lives, you’ll stand with seriously ill children and their families who deserve the chance to live a full life, supported by care that meets their needs.

Every pound raised helps ensure they can access children’s palliative care when and where they need it, so no family has to face their child’s short life alone.
