My Mighty Miles

About

Calling all wild wanderers, steady steppers, amateur amblers, and hiking heroes! It's time to do something Mighty this September for the Royal Osteoporosis Society.

Organise a 'Mighty Miles' event this September, and be part of a brand new movement across the UK.

Dust off your walking boots and join in. We're on a mission to get as many people as possible walking and raising awareness of osteoporosis in their area - and we need your help.

There are 4 options to choose from - 1 mile, 3.5 miles, 6 miles, or a Mighty Marathon of 26.2 miles.

Whether you have osteoporosis and want to walk for yourself, know someone who has and want to walk for them, have lost a loved one with the condition and want to honour their memory, or simply want to show support for the 3.5 million living in the UK with osteoporosis – these are your Mighty Miles to dedicate to whoever you like. Each walker will receive a dedication back sign to wear on your back on the day and show everybody who you're walking for, along with a ton of other goodies.

However you walk, these are your Mighty Miles. Who will you walk for? Walk wherever you are, any time during the month of September 2024.

What is osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a condition where your bones lose strength, making you more likely to fracture (break) a bone – even after just a minor bump or fall. 1 in 2 women, and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will break a bone caused by osteoporosis, with over 3.5 million living with the condition in the UK. As the UK's largest national charity dedicated to improving bone health and beating osteoporosis, we are uniquely placed to not only raise awareness of the condition, but to make people's experiences better if they do become diagnosed.
