About Miles For Men
Kicking Cancer Together
Who We Are
Miles For Men & Walk For Women is a UK registered charity (Charity No. 1154996) based in Hartlepool. We raise funds to support local people facing cancer, serious health challenges, and poverty.
Founded by Micky Day, the charity was born out of personal tragedy and a determination to make a difference in the local community. Micky has dedicated himself to raising funds and awareness, organising events throughout the year that bring the community together for a great cause.
To date, Miles For Men has donated over £805,000 to individuals and organisations in need, including £127,000 to Cancer Research UK. Our target for 2026 is £1 Million.
We are based at Unit 135 Middleton Grange Shopping Centre, Hartlepool, TS24 7RZ.

Day Dreams
Day Dreams was created in memory of the late Demi Day, our Founder's Daughter. Demi sadly passed on the 16th December 2018 at the young age of 21 after losing a 3.5 year battle with brain cancer. Demi was a beautiful bright young girl who had an amazing will and determination for life. Michael is very proud of Demi and wants her to be remembered far and wide, which is why he is creating a legacy in her memory, Day Dreams.
