During the month of May | May 1, 2024
Virtual
We’re calling on all animal lovers to walk, run, wheel or jog 100 miles (or whatever distance suits you) this May to help raise vital funds for dogs and cats who desperately need your help.
Miles for Mayhew is a fun and exciting virtual event, it’s free, and anybody can join in wherever or whoever you are – that’s the beauty of it! You can do it at your own pace, walk with friends, your dog or a group at the weekend. By taking on this fun and simple challenge, and raising just £200, you could help so many dogs and cats live better, healthier lives.
When you raise your first £15 we’ll send you a snazzy Mayhew t-shirt to wear when you’re out and about (please select your size when signing up), and if you raise over £200 you’ll get a medal at the end of the challenge to celebrate your achievement!
It only takes a moment to set up a fundraising page on JustGiving. You can then share your page with family and friends, and ask them to help you hit your fundraising target!
Start fundraising“I am trying to get fit and walking is great exercise. When I saw the Miles for Mayhew challenge event it was a great incentive to raise money for the dogs and cats at Mayhew but also get my miles in! Knowing you are making a difference to the lives of animals as well as getting some fresh air, what's not to love?”
If we all start the challenge at the same time we can motivate and support each other. So, if you can keep Miles for Mayhew during May where possible that's great, but if you need extra time to tick off those miles that's absolutely fine. Take it at your own pace and in your own time.
Miles for Mayhew is a virtual event, so anywhere in the UK that suits you. Whoever you are and wherever you are, the challenge is open to everyone!
Absolutely! You can set your own distance, take it at your own pace, tackle it however you want to - walking your dog, in the gym, buddy up with a friend, or maybe an intense walk every weekend, the choice is yours.
There are several ways to track your progress, you can download various apps to your smartphone like Strava or Fitbit, or you could even use your built-in smartphone health app.
It’s free to sign up and take part and when you raise your first £15 we'll send you a snazzy Mayhew t-shirt to wear with pride. And if you raise over £200 you'll get a medal at the end of the challenge to celebrate your achievement!
There's no required fundraising target, but we're encouraging everyone to try and raise £200, which could cover the cost of essential vet care for a stray or abandoned animal. We're with you every step of the way, and your support will make a real difference to the lives of dogs and cats in need.
A Facebook fundraiser is another easy way to collect donations online, and you’ll be able to easily share your target and progress with friends and family too! To find out more, go to www.facebook.com/fundraisers
