Want to fundraise while doing something active? Then you should join Team Very Special Kids!

By taking part in a fun run, cycling or other active event, you can fundraise for Very Special Kids and improve your health and fitness. We will support you with your fundraising, and you can participate knowing you have a whole team cheering you on.

If you raise over $200, we’ll even send you a Team Very Special Kids top to wear at the event.
