Help fight neuroblastoma, one step at a time.
Stride through Spring this April. Take 10,000 steps a day and help fight childhood cancer, one step at a time.
Raise money for vital research into neuroblastoma with our virtual challenge and help save young lives.
“Raising funds for Neuroblastoma UK is one positive way of feeling that you are supporting all those who are dedicated to alleviating our grand-daughter’s pain and illness. Of course, walking 10,000 steps each day may also improve grandma’s fitness as well!”
Anyone can take part in Stride, from toddlers to grannies! Here’s Orla, walking to fundraise for her best friend, Lily, who recently celebrated being one year in remission from neuroblastoma.

Stay safe when you Stride
Stride through Spring can be done anywhere, anytime - even during a lock down. But it’s important to stay safe and stay alert. Social distancing may still be in place come April, so please keep an eye on the government’s advice.
The coronavirus pandemic has had a big impact on our ability to fundraise. We need your support more than ever to continue funding vital research into new, more effective and kinder treatments for neuroblastoma.
