❤️ 874 Miles of Love
This October 2026, we’re taking on 874 Miles of Love - a collective challenge to walk and run the equivalent of the length of Britain, from Land’s End to John O’Groats, in memory of babies gone too soon.
Throughout the month, we’re inviting anyone who wants to get involved to pledge their own miles towards our 874-mile target, while helping us raise vital funds to support people through pregnancy and baby loss.
Anyone can take part. And you can choose exactly how, when and where you do it.
Walk 10 miles throughout October. Run a 5K or 10K. Take on a half marathon or marathon. Start Couch to 5K. Walk a mile a day. Pledge 50 or 100 miles across the month. Or create a challenge entirely your own.
Do it by yourself, with your family, with friends, with colleagues or as a team.
You choose your challenge. You pledge your miles. Together, we’ll try to reach 874. ❤️
❤️ How can you help?
👟 1. JOIN US
Pledge some miles and help us reach our 874-mile target.
Taking part is completely FREE and anyone can join.
There’s no minimum distance and you don’t need to be a runner. Whether you pledge 1 mile or 100, your miles will be added to our collective target.
Walk, run or do a bit of both. Complete your challenge in one go or spread your miles throughout October - it’s entirely up to you.
And, if you’d like to, you can dedicate your miles to a baby or babies who are loved and remembered. Just let us know their name or names when you register, and ask anyone who donates to write a message in their memory.
Ready to join us?
👉 Register for your FREE place here
Tell us how many miles you’d like to pledge and we’ll add them to our collective total.
Once you’ve registered, you’ll also have the option to join our 874 Miles of Love WhatsApp group, where you can meet other people taking part, share your progress, encourage each other and follow our collective progress towards our 874-mile target.
Then help us raise as much as we possibly can by sharing this JustGiving fundraising page with your friends, family and colleagues and asking them to take part too or donate to support your challenge.
❤️ 2. DONATE
Don’t want to take on the miles but still want to be part of our journey?
Please donate to 874 Miles of Love and support everyone walking and running in memory of babies gone too soon.
Whether you give £5, £10, £20 or more, every donation will help Branch continue supporting people through pregnancy and baby loss via our fortnightly meet ups, events, and moderated WhatsApp Community of 50+ groups offering safe spaces for bereaved parents to connect and feel less alone.
If you can’t donate right now, simply sharing this page can make a big difference too.
🌿 Why we’re doing it
Pregnancy and baby loss can be devastating. It can also be incredibly isolating.
Branch exists to change that.
We’re a non-profit (CIC) community which enables anyone affected by pregnancy loss, baby loss and infertility to connect with others who understand, access support and information, attend meet-ups and events, and find people to walk alongside them through loss, grief and everything that comes after.
Every pound raised through 874 Miles of Love will help Branch continue providing support, connection and community to people navigating the devastation of pregnancy and baby loss.
And every mile travelled will be a mile walked or run in love and remembrance.
❤️ 874 miles. One collective journey. Countless babies loved and remembered.
Join us. Pledge your miles. Donate. Share.
Together, let’s cover the equivalent distance from Land’s End to John O’Groats this October - remembering our babies one Mile of Love at a time. ❤️
Love Jess, Lisa, Katie, Leila, Abi, Angel, Zorana and all of our amazing volunteers at Team Branch x
