You Can Go Your Own Way Challenge
Take on your own challenge for human rights
Supporting our human rights work can be really simple - you don’t have to sign up to an organised event! If you prefer, you can go your own way and create your own challenge in your local area, tailored to you and with your own fundraising goal. There's 3 steps to getting started:
- Decide a route: covering a distance of your choice.
- Set a date: go solo or get friends and family to join you.
- Start fundraising: set up a JustGiving page for Amnesty. Personalise it with a photo, information about your event and why you're doing it. Share with your networks - every donation will come directly to Amnesty International UK and helps fight for human rights.

1. Maggie’s walking marathon: Maggie walked the distance of two marathons over a month and raised £1,775 for Amnesty International UK through her efforts:
“It’s done wonders for me mentally and physically. Friends and my sister walked with me, which was brilliant. I’ve enjoyed it so much.” Thank you Maggie!
2. To celebrate his 95th birthday, Gerald walked 10km along his beloved Brighton seafront and asked for donations to Amnesty International UK instead of presents. He raised almost £1,000 - happy birthday Gerald!
3. A local group in Exeter decided to take advantage of their beautiful local area and walked 6.5 miles, raising £800:
"We walked up and down the winding lanes and hedgerows of glorious East Budleigh on our 6.5 mile sponsored walk for Amnesty International UK. Great company, good conversion with silly humour thrown in... All of this whilst not forgetting the meaning why we came to together today... we also wrote a few cards of solidarity for those who would of loved to of been with us out in the countryside but who can't as they are detained... such as those by the Turkiye government the Gezi7 #FreeTheGezi7.” Excellent work team!
