Refugees often are forced to travel hundreds of miles on foot to reach safety - which may not even be guaranteed. From the 1st of November 2022, RCF is challenging everyone to put yourselves in their shoes and push the limits!

Story

RCF is a UK registered charity that aims to promote the health and wellbeing of vulnerable displaced men, women and children globally. The charity provides medical, dental and welfare aid abroad with both students and professionals. RCF have had projects delivering aid to Yemen, Pakistan, Greece, Calais, Syria and have established the only permanent dental clinic in the worlds largest refugee camp in Kutapolong, Bangladesh.

This year we have a campaign to help raise money for the Pakistan floods, as well as keeping other RCF projects going in Bangladesh. We are challenging you to walk, run, cycle, swim - anything you can think of! Pick a number of miles you want to challenge yourself with and attempt to complete this within the month.

Miles4Smiles was so successful last time so this time we aim to collectively get enough miles to cover the distance around the globe. Lets try and get as close to 24,901 miles as we can! We are also extremely excited by the European Dental Students Association's participation in this fundraiser, with participants from countries such as France, Croatia and Turkey getting involved!

About the charity

Supported through a vast network of volunteers from a variety of professional backgrounds, RCF organise projects in Europe and internationally, which provide crucial medical and welfare aid to vulnerable individuals and families. In doing this, RCF raise awareness of the refugee crisis and inspire others to support their campaign.
