Fancy walking the Great Wall of China or cycling from London to Paris to raise money for children's rights? Whether you want to take part in a UK challenge such as the Three Peaks or venture overseas and explore the magnificent Machu Picchu in Peru, there’s definitely an event for you.

At the moment, UNICEF has a range of challenge events in 2012 for you - how about:

If you can't make the date for one of UNICEF's events, you can still raise money for us by entering an event through an open challenge company. We welcome fundraisers who pay for their own challenge and raise funds for UNICEF.
