A nation-wide virtual challenge event taking place on Sunday April 26th 2020 - become a Home Hero for the day!
The 2.6 challenge is a nation-wide virtual challenge event taking place on 26th April 2020, the original scheduled day for the London Marathon - and you can take part in support of Fibromyalgia Action UK!
There's no requirement to be a marathon runner to join in, we're seeking Housebound Heroes of all ages and abilities so get those with fibro and their supporters to take part. Simply think of an activity based around the numbers 2.6 or 26 and take on that challenge on Sunday 26th April.
You could:
- run 2.6 miles,
- complete 26 star jumps,
- do a workout in 26 minutes (or even 2.6 minutes),
- put on and take of 26 items of clothes or,
- sing 26 of your favourite songs from musicals
Anything goes, as long as there's a 26 or 2.6 in there somewhere!

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
