Join Miles for MS and help fuel our crucial initiatives to fund new MS nurses, train healthcare professionals, and provide expert information and support. All achieved with no government funding, thanks to the incredible support of people like you.
A challenge that gets you moving, your way! Wheel, walk, scoot, run, cycle, e-bike, swim, cross-train, anything goes... you get to say how far you want to go too.
Your challenge, your way!
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 how you can make a difference this June:
Roughly 135 people are diagnosed with MS in the UK every week. Your support helps us provide our ‘Making Sense of MS’ guide to those people who are newly diagnosed, offering support and unbiased information at a difficult time.
Advanced MS sadly affects over 40,000 people in the UK. Your support helps us fund more Advanced MS Champions, like Sarah in Leeds, who provide at home care and help people living with extremely severe MS live better lives.

Health Professionals like MS Nurses provide vital services for people with MS. Your support helps us train 40-50 health professionals on our Development Module course, funding education that helps make MS care more equal.
Research can help unlock practical, real-world change in MS care. Your support helps us work with people with MS and researchers to find innovative solutions and improve the level of support available for people with MS everywhere.
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.
