War Child launches challenge urging people to go the distance for children

War Child UK has launched its Peace Band Challenge for the second year in a row, encouraging members of the public to pick one of five challenges, or set their own distance, and help raise vital funds for War Child UK’s work in supporting children living in conflict zones.

The Peace Band Challenge will launch officially on March 1, and War Child UK is encouraging participants to take on the distance however they choose – whether that be to walk, wheel, swim or cycle.

Ranging from 20 to 330 miles, each of the challenges symbolises a difficult journey that a child living in conflict has had to make in countries including Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo , Central African Republic, Iraq or Yemen.
