This time last year, we were preparing to launch the CCUC Stormont Mile - a really important event that was established to raise awareness of childhood cancer and raise vital funds for the Childrens Cancer Unit.

Unfortunately, this years event had to be cancelled - but that doesnt mean we cant still support families and children affected by cancer in Northern Ireland.

In the absence of the CCUC Stormont Mile, we are launching Miles for Smiles - a new campaign to replace the event, allowing us to raise funds at home, which are desperately needed at this time.

How to take part - 3 Steps:

1. Choose your challenge

Walk / Clock / Time

Walk a mile. Get yourself outside for some fresh air or bring your family to stretch your legs.

Clock as many miles as youre fit for. If one is too easy then let us see what distance you can cover.

Time your mile. If speed is your thing, then show us just how fast you can sprint one mile.

*Always remember to keep socially distant where appropriate!

2. Tag the Childrens Cancer Unit Charity in any of your photos, times and distances.

We want to see everyone that takes part and supports the campaign. This is just as much about raising awareness as it is about raising funds.

(@CCUCharity on Twitter and @childrenscancerunitcharity on both Facebook and Instagram.)

3. Make a donation to the Childrens Cancer Unit Charity.

All proceeds go towards supporting families from across Northern Ireland who are affected by childhood cancer and the incredible team at the Childrens Cancer Unit.
