ON Sunday 14 June 2026, The Dream Factory held its annual 3 Stadium Challenge, with supporters walking just over 11 miles between three of London’s iconic football stadiums West Ham United FC Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Arsenal Football Club raising over £13,000. Blessed with some beautiful weather, our incredible walkers completed the challenge with plenty of laughter along the way.
The Dream Factory is dedicated to granting dreams to children and young adults between the age of 3 to 25 years, who suffer from life-threatening conditions, or have severe disabilities, or are sadly having end of life care. The charity has brought joy, hope, and unforgettable experiences and dreams to over 783 children and their families. Fundraising is so important to The Dream Factory, and the team work tirelessly to raise funds to be able to grant more dreams, which is why events like this are so important to us.
We were honoured to be joined by our Patron Christine Ohuruogu MBE, who helped everyone prepare for the challenge with some warm-up stretches. We were also delighted to welcome our Ambassador, Isaac Harvey MBE, who shared his own Dream Factory experience and spoke about the lasting impact of having his dream granted.
Avril Mills BEM, Honorary Freeman of The Borough of Redbridge, Founder & Trustee of The Dream Factory Children’s Charity said,
“Events like this would not be possible without our dedicated volunteer marshals and volunteer first aiders, and we are extremely grateful for their support. Thank you to everyone who walked, volunteered and supported this year’s challenge. A big shout out to our sponsors GET2SPORTSMARKET, Terry Tew Sound & Light, Lloyds Estate Agents (Woodford Green), and Myra’s cakes for their support.”
The Dream Factory’s next event is on Sunday 5 July – The Mud Run Challenge at Nuclear Wild Forest, Site B, Parsonage Farm, Ongar Road, Brentwood, CM15 0LA
