How Much Did Sara Cox Raise for Children in Need?
Crossing the finish line in Pudsey, Sara learned she had raised £7.6 million, an extraordinary total made possible by the incredible generosity of BBC Radio 2 listeners.
Emotionally overwhelmed, she said:
“That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”
A Remarkable Fundraising Achievement
Sara’s fundraising total even surpassed last year’s impressive effort by Paddy McGuinness, who raised over £7.5 million during his 300-mile cycling challenge on a Raleigh Chopper bike.
This year, the spotlight fell on Sara—and she delivered a historic result for BBC Children in Need.
