Did you know that 30 minutes of moderate activity 5 days a week has a fabulous effect on your mind and body? Exercise helps to boost your mood, increases your energy level, reduces stress and builds self-confidence, and reduces the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes. And with wonderful reasons like that, what more incentive is there to get a little more active?

Last year we ran our 40 Miles for SMILES event for the first time, challenging members in our 6,000 groups up and down the UK to cover 40 miles. They walked, ran, cycled and even swam the distance, and raised a staggering £69,000 for charity.

As well as raising money, 40 Miles for SMILES was the perfect opportunity to get started with exercise. And that’s why we’re running the fantastic event again this year!  

This year Miles for SMILES will run from 21st June - 17th July and our aim is to get our members on the move!

You can choose how many miles you'd like to cover - 1, 10 or 100! Whether it's a walk in the park, a cycle ride, a swim or something more exciting! All we ask is that you're sponsored to do it. Every single penny raised in the UK goes to the NSPCC's Child's Voice Appeal - money raised in the Republic of Ireland will go to the ISPCC (Irish Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Children).

Miles for SMILES could be the first step towards a more active lifestyle or if you're already an exercise whizz, maybe this is the challenge you've been looking for!
