As we celebrate 15 years of 2wish, we’re inviting teams of all kinds to take on 2miles for 2wish this January.
Whether you’re rallying colleagues at work, joining forces with friends or bringing together your sports club the challenge is simple, complete 2 miles every day throughout January.
Walk, run, cycle, swim or wheel your way through the month, track your progress on Strava, and enjoy a little friendly competition along the way. Together, you’ll be raising vital funds to help 2wish continue supporting families affected by the sudden loss of a child or young person.
Gather your team, aim to raise £150 per person, and be part of our milestone anniversary year!
Once you sign up for 2miles for 2wish you will be prompted to set up your own fundraising page. As you complete each mile, friends, family & colleagues can send donations to your fundraising page. To raise awareness of your efforts we recommend sharing your journey on social media, using the hashtag #2milesfor2wish
The funds you raise help us to provide support to those going through the toughest time of their lives. Below are just some of the ways your fundraising efforts make a difference.

2miles for 2wish is a January long fundraising challenge where participants complete 2 miles a day, every day throughout January to support those affected by the sudden death of a child or young person.
Not necessarily, we understand that life is busy so if you can’t do your 2 miles one day, just make it up at a later date.
The fundraising part is simple, you will be sent a link to set up your page on registration, spread the word far and wide – and if you need help from our team for ideas to boost your donations you can reach out to [email protected]
No, we encourage you to complete your 2 miles with others. Whether it’s friends, family, colleagues or complete strangers, we love to see everyone get involved!
It is a great way to catch up with people or spend more time with those you care about whilst helping a great cause.
The funds raised go directly to funding the running of 2wish. This allows us to provide memory boxes, bereavement rooms in hospitals, ongoing emotional and practical support, and counselling for all affected by the sudden death of a child or young person.
