We have received a number of calls from distressed, worried and at risk, key COVID-19 workers who continue to serve during this difficult time, but are not being provided the vital Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) equipment that they need to protect themselves and their families , e.g., some medical professionals, chaplains, charities distributing food etc.

These individuals are making a difference and are working tirelessly to help others and save lives. We have therefore set-up this “MILES FOR PPE” Challenge fundraiser, with 100% of funds to be used to get PPE to individual’s in the community who desperately needs it.
