Challenge Events

Take on a challenge and support world class dementia research...

Every day, BRACE funds critical research into understanding, treating and - one day - curing Dementia. We know it's a marathon, not a sprint - and that's why we need your support. Get involved today, and be a part of the cure.

Reach out to Colin about joining our challenge events. If you're already taking part in an event and want to raise money for BRACE, please get in touch and we will send you a running top or t-shirt in the post!

...And Save While You Raise!

We've partnered with some fantastic retailers to bring you discount codes on everything you could need for a BRACE challenge... not only that, but a portion of every purchase helps to fund BRACE's dementia research!

So you can save some money, raise some money and get kitted out... all in one place.
