Story

Every Mile for Miles – Helping Others Go Further

Raising £10,000 for Action Medical Research

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

We're Miles and Xiana – brother and sister, best friends, and teammates on a mission to help make life a little better for children living with disabilities.

I'm Miles. I'm 16 years old and I live with Cerebral Palsy. When I was just five days old, I suffered a life-changing brain injury. Since then, my family, carers, teachers and friends have helped me overcome many challenges and live life as fully and independently as possible.

My sister, Xiana, is 14. She has been by my side for as long as she can remember. She has an incredible ability to make me laugh every single day, and she has always been my biggest supporter and best friend.

Together, we've decided to turn our journey into something that can help others.

We're raising funds for Action Medical Research because we believe medical research creates hope. It helps improve treatments, develops new technologies, and gives children and families a brighter future.

As a family, we're taking on some big challenges to raise money:

🏃 Mum and Mark are running the Scottish Half Marathon on 16/08/2026.

🥾 I'll be completing the Kiltwalk with the support of my carers on 13/09/2026.

👟 Xiana will be taking on her own fundraising challenge with friends on 05/09/2026.

Our goal is to raise £10,000 to support life-changing medical research and help improve the future for children living with Cerebral Palsy.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. And if you can't donate, simply sharing our page is another wonderful way to support us.

Together, we can help others go further.

Thank you for believing in our journey.

With love,

Miles, Xiana, Family and Mile's supporting team ❤️
