it’s a journey of grit, determination, and heart

The Waterfall Challenge is a timed challenge that
will test both your mental and physical endurance 💪🏼

The Waterfall Challenge isn’t just a physical feat — it’s a journey of grit, determination, and heart. Set in the wild and rugged beauty of the North of England, this unique charity challenge dares individuals and teams to take on 14 waterfalls in just 12 hours. From icy plunges to adrenaline-pumping scrambles, every leap is a test of courage — and every splash supports a vital mission.

All funds raised go directly to the If U Care Share Foundation, a mental health and suicide prevention charity working tirelessly to support individuals and families across the UK. By taking part, you’re not just pushing your limits — you’re helping save lives.
So the only question left is…. Are you ready?

A message from Ashleigh

On April 16th, 2019, my brother Alex tragically took his own life at just 24 years old, after a long and painful battle with his mental health.

In the years since losing Alex, my family and I have been supported by the incredible team at the If U Care Share Foundation, a Chester-le-Street-based charity that provides vital help to those struggling with mental health, as well as support for families who have lost loved ones to suicide.

In 2020, we proudly established a trust in Alex’s name through the foundation. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to honouring his memory and raising awareness through a variety of fundraising events. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve raised over £37,000 so far.

The Waterfall Challenge 2025

This year marks the fourth edition of The Waterfall Challenge – our biggest event yet!
Our team will be jumping, dipping, and swimming across 15 of the North East’s largest waterfalls – all within 12 hours.
It’s a physically and emotionally demanding challenge, but one we’re proud to take on in Alex’s name.

In 2020, we proudly established a trust in Alex’s name through the foundation. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to honouring his memory and raising awareness through a variety of fundraising events. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve raised over £32,000 so far.
