Every summer we welcome our supporters to join us for a virtual summer fundraiser, with the emphasis on fun!
Miles4Radiotherapy really is for everyone, and this year we have pushed the boat out to make sure you get the most out of your entry.
The challenge starts on July 1 and runs for two months. We’d love to hear your plans, so keep in touch at fundraising@radiotherapy.org.uk
Five reasons to make your miles matter
Reason one – crucial cause!
Back in 2023, Miles4Radiotherapy raised crucial funds for us to make trusted patient resources. We’ve just launched Phase 1 of our Patients and Families online hub: now we need support for Phase 2.
With your entry and fundraising we can make trusted resources to combat the growing misinformation which is harming and exploiting cancer patients.
Radiotherapy UK is a member of the Patient Information Forum, creating trusted, accredited resources.
Reason two – a chance to meet your mates!
The challenge is a great excuse to get the gang back together.
You know how it is – adult life gets in the way and suddenly it’s been months since you’ve seen your mates properly.
Miles4Radiotherapy is your perfect reason to change that. Team up for walks, runs, cycles (even horse-riding if you fancy!) and help fund trusted cancer information that patients really need.
Reason three – what you count, you crush!
This year we’ve teamed up with Race At Your Pace so you can track every single mile with a few clicks. You can link your challenge to Fitbit and Strava; or add your miles manually.
This is the perfect way to reach your summer goals for wellbeing and fitness. You can even convert other activities, like cleaning the house, into miles. It’s super simple and super quick! See what the App can do here and check out the App’s quick guides here.
Reason four – a chance to win match funding!
You can make an even bigger impact by fundraising as part of your challenge: every penny counts as we create the trusted information patients and families ask us for.
Set up your page on GivenGain (HERE) and raise £50 before July 7th for the chance to win a matched donation to supercharge your impact.
With thanks to the GivenGain Foundation.
Reason five – four-legged friends welcome!
Every year, Miles4Radiotherapy participants use the challenge to bond with their best buddies!
Dogs and horses are welcome to join in the fun and we love to see your photos of enjoying the fresh air together.
Remember to keep your pet pals safe in the warm weather, and to give them a few extra treats for their efforts (if their diet allows!).
What are you waiting for?
The challenge starts on July 1st and we hope you can join us. Every penny and every mile makes a difference for a small charity helping UK cancer patients. Thank you!
