THE British Red Cross are looking for people to pull on their trainers and make their miles count this September.
Miles for Refugees is a unique challenge. Participants chose a distance from 22 to 2,700 miles and then, throughout September, walk, swim, cycle or run to reach their target.
Entry to the event costs £10 with a sponsorship target of £100.
All money raised will support the Red Cross’ Family Reunion work.
Each year, thousands of refugees are denied their right to a family life because of the complex nature of refugee family reunion. Trained Red Cross caseworkers guide refugees through the process; and can help with travel logistics and costs, ensuring that families are reunited quickly and safely.
