Sara Cox is currently undertaking a BBC Children in Need fundraising challenge that involves running the distance of five marathons across five days, across northern England, to raise money for Children in Need. She began the challenge in early November 2025 and has been sharing updates live via BBC Radio 2 and the BBC’s Children in Need channels, with supporters encouraged to donate online. By mid-November 2025, the effort had already surpassed the £1 million milestone, and coverage highlighted the emotional moments as the total continued to grow. Key highlights:
- The challenge: approximately 135 miles (217 km) over five days, covering multiple counties and culminating in Pudsey-themed celebrations.
- How to follow: live updates on BBC Radio 2 and online coverage from BBC Children in Need; supporters can donate through the official campaign page.
- Impact: substantial fundraising momentum, with public updates indicating the total raised crossed £1 million and continuing to rise as the campaign progressed.
If you’d like, I can summarize the latest official updates or provide direct links to the official donation page and daily progress notes.
