Here are three other major charity events from around the world. Race for Life, UK What started off as a race of 680 women in a London park in 1994 to raise money for a cancer charity has now turned into a massive nationwide event, with thousands of women up and down the UK taking part every year.

Since it began, more than 8 million women have taken part, raising over ￡547 million for Cancer Research UK. 40-Hour Famine, Australia Normally taking place in mid-August, this program encourages young Australians to give something up for 40 hours in order to raise awareness of less fortunate youths around the world.

Since it began in 1975, World Vision Australia, the event’s organizer, has raised over A$200 million.
