Inspired by the work I do with SportsAid through Sportsbeat/News Associates, and having just got back on the bike for the first time in 20+ years, I've decided to take part in this year's #MyMiles Challenge for SportsAid Week.
The average SportsAid athlete does 40 miles per week and that's the target I've set myself on the bike.
The #MyMiles Challenge pays tribute to the commitment, dedication and sacrifice shown by talented young athletes as they pursue their ambitions. A combined total of 19,722 miles was accumulated during SportsAid Week 2017 and 2018. The #MyMiles Challenge is growing in popularity year-on-year....so why not join the movement and help support the next generation of sporting heroes?
Race Nation allows you to set up a sponsorship page, via Sports Giving, if you would like to raise funds for SportsAid through the Challenge. Fundraising is a key income stream for the charity and SportsAid Week has generated close to £150,000 since 2016. The success of the initiative's inaugural year has led to SportsAid Week becoming an annual fixture in the sporting calendar.
