GRACE’s Challenge60 event has been hailed as a great success after 70 people signed up to participate and raised almost £2000 for the charity.

Challenge60 was launched to mark Gynae Cancer Awareness Month in honour of the 60 women a day in the UK who are diagnosed with a form of gynae cancer.

The aim was for supporters to take part in a challenge of their choosing but with a focus on the number 60. The challenges completed throughout September included practising guitar for 60 minutes every day; 60 revolutions a day on a hula hoop; a daily 60 second plank; spreading awareness to 60 women during the month; and running 60km in September, to name just a few.

Whatever the challenge, we want to say a huge well done and a thank you to every single one of you who signed up and joined us to raise vital awareness and funds to beat gynaecological cancers.
