15x15 Challenge

In celebration of our 15th anniversary, we've launched the 15 for 15 Challenge to raise vital funds and support the work of the RCN Foundation.

15x15 explained

It's simple – we're challenging members of the public to choose a fundraising activity that is 15 related and raise £150 for the RCN Foundation. 

  1. Set your challenge: pick a personal or group challenge that involves the number 15. You can choose something physical. For example, a 15-mile run or 15 hours without your phone. Get creative with something that works for you!
  2. Get sponsored: ask friends, family, or colleagues to sponsor you as you complete your challenge.
  3. Donate and fundraise: set up your own fundraising page on JustGiving or donate directly to the RCN Foundation.  

Ideas to get started

  • Physical challenges: 15-mile run, 15 hours of board games, or 15 minutes of skipping each hour for 15 hours
  • Wellbeing ideas: 15 hours without your phone, 15 random acts of kindness, or 15 handwritten notes
  • Other fun activities: 15-hour movie marathon, 15 sports indoor Olympics, or even 15 outfits in one weekend!  

Whether it's big or small, your contribution makes a huge impact to nursing and midwifery staff that seek our support. 

Rowena's Extraordinary Challenge

Rowena, a nurse and lecturer in nursing, has set the ultimate personal challenge: climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents and raising £15,000 to support our work. In May she successfully summitted Mount Everest, her third out of the seven summits. Find out more about her challenge and how you can support her.

Tom's Challenge

In April Tom ran that London Landmarks Half Marathon (13.1 miles) and added an extra 2 miles that weekend to hit his 15 mile goal – well done Tom! f you would like to donate to Tom's fundraiser and help him reach his goal, click here.

Kevin will also be climbing Machu Picchu and raising funds for the RCN Foundation - not 15 times but he will do 15 jumping jacks at the top!

Don't forget to share your journey with us on social media (@RCNFoundation) – we'd love to see what you challenge yourself to!
