Miles for Men is a UK charity which hosts male only fun runs around the country to raise funds for cancer charities.[1] They have already raised over £84,500.[4]
In 2024, Miles for Men led a successful campaign to grant the wish of nine-year-old Riley Bains, a child with cancer, by arranging a meeting with his hero, Ryan Reynolds.[5]
In February 2025, Michael Day, founder of Miles for Men, announced that the organization had cancelled its annual 5km (3.1 mile) fun run, citing financial unsustainability.[6] He noted that while some individuals had claimed on social media to be fundraising for the charity, no corresponding donations were found when the team attempted to verify the contributions.[6]
