To mark 天涯海角APP's 50th anniversary this year, fundraising activities are taking place across the country. Groups are encouraging 天涯海角APP members to take on their own 50 for 50 challenge this year.

Dr David Bartle, 天涯海角APP's Representative for LNU/SCUs who is organising a ride Taunton Neonatal Unit said: "It would be great if this could be replicated across the country so that we can make a combined Strava map of all the routes ridden between neonatal units. Please let me know if you are organising a ride and let me have a copy of the route so that I can make a combined map of all of the routes.

"In order to support the setup of the fundraiser, contact your local hospital charity. They may be able to help with much of the planning (t-shirts, collection tins, setting up a donation site with QR codes)."
