Join our Miles Of Hope Challenge this September
Every journey matters. This Urology Awareness Month, we’re inviting you to take part in our Miles Of Hope challenge and help make a real difference for people living with a urinary diversion.
Whether you choose to walk, cycle, swim, row or simply count your daily steps – every mile you complete helps to raise awareness and vital funds for our work. Just set your own personal target for September, and ask friends and family to sponsor your efforts.
You don’t have to go far (unless you want to!) – just go at your own pace. Fancy making it a social activity? Why not join with friends or family, and travel your Miles Of Hope to a coffee shop and share some well-earned cake!
However far you go, you’ll be helping us bring comfort, reassurance and hope to others. Let’s take this journey together – and Help Provide Hope.
Samantha, our Transformation Director, has pledged to walk at least 50 miles during September. You can read more about her challenge on her JustGiving page.
Every step you take brings hope to someone facing surgery, recovery and life with a urinary diversion.
Join the challenge. Share your progress. Inspire others. And help our Help Provide Hope appeal.

Set up an online sponsorship page
Getting sponsorship doesn’t have to be awkward! One of the easiest ways to ask your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you is through an online JustGiving fundraising page. The site does all the hard work for you, sending the donations to us and automatically claiming gift aid on donations – that’s an extra 25% at no extra cost to you or your supporters. It’s super efficient!
Setting up a JustGiving page that links through to the Urostomy Association is easy:
- Go to justgiving.com and follow the instructions to set up an account (if you don’t have one already)
- Visit our Miles of Hope page
- Click the orange ‘Start Fundraising’ button! Then your fundraising page connects directly with ours. It’s that easy!
Prefer to go paper?
If you’d rather use a paper sponsorship form, then contact the office and we’ll send you one. Keep good hold of it, as you’ll need to use it after your event to contact your friends and family and collect the money they have pledged to donate.
