This is a community event that allows all ages and abilities to participate in the 'Miles for Smiles' sponsored event to raise money for the OLIVIA's Smile charity. It was thanks to one of Olivia's friends Tegan, that the 'Miles for Smiles' idea came about and it is really exciting - Thanks Tegan!

During the month of August you are encouraged to complete as many miles as you can and in whatever way you fancy! How many miles will you aim to do? Could you push to achieve some more at the end of the month? How will you complete your miles? Will you walk, run, cycle, skate, sit on a grandparents mobility scooter, dance, space hopper - the possibilities are endless!

Maybe you could arrange some catch ups with family and friends and do a mile or two together; you'll be amazed how easily you can bank up those miles when there's a group of you!

There will be numerous dates during the month where you can complete a mile with Olivia's Mum Aimee at Sheldon Field. These one mile events will start and end at Olivia's bench and there will be refreshments and snacks available as a post mile treat! Dates, times and details of these will be put onto the OLIVIA's Smile Facebook Event Page or in the Fundraising Events section of the OLIVIA's Smile website (Links below)

Whether it's a penny a mile, a pound a mile or a one off donation amount, your support will be gratefully received. You may decide to set yourself a target mile limit or just keep putting one foot in front of the other for the month and see where you end up!

Thanks for reading - now I'd better to get planning those miles!! xx
