The Great 48 Challenge 2007
The Great 48 Challenge 2007- The Review
Our annual awareness and fundraising drive, Save a Baby Month, was held from 1-31 May 2007 this year.
Every year, Save a Baby Month has a theme and this year we presented the Great 48 Challenge. We have discovered that just £48 could save a baby's life.
We asked you to take part in one of our Great 48 activities including our superb Great 48 Quiz for you to hold with friends, family or colleagues.
We encouraged you to hold 48-hour chocolate detoxes, a 48p cake sale or a 48-minute sponsored jog. Click here to view our 48 ideas around the 48 theme.
The month heralded a flurry of fundraising activities and donations from all over the country, and we would like to thank everyone who got involved for their hard work.
