What is Miles For Smiles? It is a community:
Moving more just one step in front of the other all for mental health, while improving out physical health and therefore our overall health and wellbeing. More Miles More Smiles :)
We want to try keep things focused on mental health, while having some fun with fitness. Through our run, jog, walk groups and socials we hope to create a community feel, bringing people back together and to also meet new people, to give them a chance and opportunity to feel they can open up and talk more, all whilst moving more. It honestly means so much to us that people feel supported and this is what it's about, offering a safe space for all to feel inclusive and be supported better together. Look out on our socials and news feed below to see when our meet up is!
With over a decade of experience as a coach in the health & fitness industry, Rebecca Wilkinson rediscovered her passion for running after experiencing the impact that outdoor exercise had not only on her physical health but also on her mental wellbeing. Having journeyed through her own mental health challenges, Rebecca founded Miles For Smiles to encourage people to lace up their shoes, step outside, and pave the way to brighter smiles and healthier minds by raising awareness for mental health. Welcoming everyone to run, jog, or walk at their own pace, her mission is to bring people together, building a sense of community and connection by providing a safe, supportive, and positive space to discuss mental health while staying active.
In September 2024 one of our members Adam will be undertaking one of the biggest challenges! He will be climbing 5895m to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro for The Electrical Industries Charity. The Electrical Industries Charity (EIC) has been in existence for over 100 years, and supports anyone who works in the Electrical or Energy industry and are thankful to be in a position to extend this support to the immediate family of our industry members. If you can, please donate to Adam’s Kilimanjaro trek, any amount helps and support the journey to support the EIC and the incredible work they do. Adam has a passion for renewable energy and supporting his team in supplying renewables to the nation through HDM solar.
