Thames Moonlight 10 Challlenge

The challenge

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – the perfect time to step out and make a difference for children affected by neuroblastoma.

Whether you're a seasoned walker, looking for your next challenge, or simply want a memorable evening in one of the world's most iconic cities, the Thames Moonlight 10 Challenge is for you. Fun, safe and rewarding, this inspiring event combines an unforgettable London experience with the opportunity to support a vital cause.

Join Team Solving Kids' Cancer UK and help us create a future where no child dies from neuroblastoma or suffers unnecessarily from the effects of treatment.

Choose from either a 10km or 10-mile route and walk through the heart of London as night falls, taking in some of the capital's most famous landmarks, including:

• St Paul's Cathedral
• Westminster Abbey
• Tower Bridge
• The London Eye
• And many more

Whether you're taking part with friends, family, colleagues or fellow supporters, the Thames Moonlight 10 Challenge is a fantastic way to spend an active Friday evening while raising vital funds for children and families affected by neuroblastoma.

We'd love to have you on Team Solving Kids' Cancer UK.

    Why we need you

    Every year, around 100 children in the UK are diagnosed with neuroblastoma, which is a rare and often deadly childhood cancer. The reality of neuroblastoma is heartbreaking: most of these children are under five years old, and for many, the cancer has already spread by the time they are diagnosed. This makes it one of the toughest paediatric cancers to treat. The aggressive treatments often come with lifelong side effects, leaving children with disabilities and health problems that last long after their cancer.

    But there is hope and that's where you come in.

    We are dedicated to helping children affected by neuroblastoma by funding potentially life-saving clinical research, providing hope and support to families, and raising awareness to drive positive change

    By participating in our charity walk, you’re joining a community of people who want to make a difference for children and their families. You’ll be raising critical funds to advance clinical research that could save lives. You’re helping ensure that no family faces this journey alone, offering them the hope, information, and support they desperately need. And finally, you're advocating for change, because childhood cancer deserves more investment and more priority.
