Our events
Our fundraising events have raised over £100,000 so far helping us fund some major operations and establish our Glasses for Classes Programme. In partnership with XNRG we hold four fundraising events a year where you can run or walk to help raise money to provide medical care for our young patients.
The XNRG Tring Ultra , 20th September 2025.
Join the ultra marathon experience with a difference—donate your entry fee or pledge to raise funds instead of paying to participate.
The Dream Challenges Gorilla Adventure, 26th Feb – 6th March 2026
Trek through the rainforests of the Virunga Mountain Range and encounter endangered species on this once-in-a-lifetime gorilla tracking adventure.
The XNRG Amersham Ultra, 14th March 2026
Kick off the year with the XNRG Amersham Ultra, the first in a series of three 50km trail ultramarathons showcasing the stunning routes of the Chiltern Hills.
Our partnership with XNRG
Our XNRG partnership started when Neil Thurbron (XNRG Director) dedicated his race in the Arctic Circle to Humanity Direct. His challenge paid for 8-yr-old Grace to have complex reconstructive surgery so she could hear properly.
After seeing the impact his fundraising had on Grace’s life he offered to team up and invite his XNRG ultra running community to regularly fundraise for us. Since then, XNRG have donated the entrance fee’s helping raise over £100,000 for hundreds of life saving and life changing operations. The partnership also led to us setting up Glasses for Classes.
