Mercy4Mankind Ride4Peace and Hike National Charity Challenge
On Sunday 30 August 2026, We will be taking part in the National Charity Challenge, an exciting cycling and hiking event set in the stunning surroundings of Keswick, Cumbria.
This challenge is bringing together participants from across the UK to push themselves physically whilst raising vital funds for the Fitz Park Children’s Playground Refurbishment Appeal and other charitable causes. The event aims to promote healthy living, community spirit and service to humanity through a shared commitment to making a difference.
Fundraising Cause
MKA UK is heading back to Keswick, Cumbria 10 years since our efforts to help the local community in our flood relief initiative and this time to support another local cause for the betterment of the community.
This event is open to participants of all ages above 18 and all under 18’s so long as they’re accompanied by an adult. This will be a chance for the community to come together for an enjoyable afternoon of activities, food, sports and fun.
