CALM of Mind Mike: 2026

What is CALM of Mind Mike: 2026?

Hi, I'm Mike, a mental health sufferer and advocate, and from June to December 2026 I'm trying to prove that every mile counts.

I'm setting myself a simple challenge: get out, keep moving, explore places, and raise money for two fantastic mental health charities — Mind and CALM.

There isn't a mileage target and there isn't a finish line. The goal is simply to keep going, rack up as many miles as I can whenever I can, and share the journey along the way over the next 6 months.

This site tracks my mileage, fundraising progress and the places I've visited. You'll also find updates, videos and (not so) occasional randomness over on TikTok.

If you'd like to support the challenge, you can donate directly to Mind, CALM, or both. Any personal fundraising contributions I make (£1 for every mile) will be split between the two charities.
