Just make sure you have fun, enjoy the achievement and know you are making a massive difference to those living with MS.
Thank you 💙
I had always assumed these events were aimed at people that could run for hours on end, so it made me so happy to learn how inclusive Miles for MS was as you can literally plan around what works for you and what you can manage.

Here's five examples of things we have done with support like yours:
You helped us support those most in need by funding an Advanced MS Champion, Sarah, in Leeds. This specialist role provides at-home care for those with extremely severe MS and can save the NHS over £450,000 in prevented admissions.
You helped us answer over 4,800 enquiries in 24/25 on our helpline. We listened and gave information and support to help people with MS feel informed and in control.
You helped us establish a new MS service in North West London by funding an MS Nurse, Jero, whose expertise helps people with MS get seen more often.
You helped us deliver over 42,000 publications about MS last year, reaching people and giving detailed, trusted, unbiased information to navigate everyday life with MS.
You helped us train 40 new-in-post health professionals at our Development Module course, so they understand life with MS and get them professional care and support.
We achieve things like these with no government funding, thanks to you, your sponsors and our other supporters.
I chose #milesforMS because it encourages you to partake in exercise to reach your own particular goal, whatever that is, with all the physical and mental benefits that exercise brings.

I decided to pledge 25 minutes a day of walking. I chose my local supermarket as it’s smallish, safe, has flat floors and is uncluttered... If anyone else is unsure about taking part I would say go for it. You may even enjoy it, as I have done.

You can take part from 1-30 June. The event will be running throughout June 2026.
Whether it's one mile or 100 miles, you pick how far you want to go and do it your way. Walk, run, wheel, scoot, swim, arm cycle, or something else... it's up to you. You can even switch between activities to mix it up.
Absolutely! You don’t need a Facebook account to take part. While you won’t be able to join our Facebook community group, you’ll still receive regular emails and updates to guide and support you throughout the challenge.
No, we just ask that you raise as much as you can. If you raise over £150, we will send you a special 'Miles for MS' medal for your efforts.
When registrations open, you can sign up for free and once you receive your first £10 donation, we'll send you a MS Trust T-shirt.
You can track your miles by connecting your Strava or Fitbit to your JustGiving page or use the tracker sheet we will send you.
Yes, the more the merrier. First, sign up individually with your own fundraising page and then link it to a team page. Your team page will show all team members and the amount of sponsorship collected as a team total.
Each Miles for MS challenge is individual, so set a target that you feel is achievable for you. Perhaps walk to the end of your garden and back each day? Or go round the block in your mobility scooter? Don’t worry if you need to change the distance part way through, as you choose how far you go and how you complete it.
Want to chat to us about other ways to get involved? We'd love to hear from you.
