Miles for Smiles: Week 1

Welcome to the Miles for Smiles Challenge! Paul Marks, a wonderful volunteer in the UK, will be running each week in Central London to prepare for the Wimbledon Half Marathon on Oct. 29th. 

We want to challenge you to join him - from wherever you are in the world!

Not a seasoned runner? No worries! Go for a walk in the park, a bike ride around your neighborhood, or hit the gym! Physical activity has been shown to have a positive impact on mental health. It can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, making it an essential tool in the journey of grief.

If you're in London and would like to join Paul on his weekly runs, click here to stay updated on where to meet up with him.

This week, we're running for Brianna, Malaya, and Donnell, three children who lost a parent at a young age, and who inspire our work every day. We are honored to share their stories in this video where they share their dreams for their future.

Our team at Elizabeth's Smile hopes to help support children like Brianna, Malaya, and Donnell to be able to fulfill their dreams.
