The fundraiser is to collectively run, walk or cycle at least a mile a day for everyone who has been affected by Covid-19.

It is open to everyone in the mortgage industry, their friends and families included.

James Lucas, director at Barcadia Media, said:  “ …We had an idea to use this collective exercise to show our solidarity for the heroes in the NHS and help raise money for their appeal.”

Alex Hammond, managing director at Also Communications, commented: “By all getting behind the Mortgage Miles for the NHS campaign we can use our daily exercise, not just to improve our own health, but also the wellbeing of those NHS heroes on the frontline, and those patients in hospital who are battling to beat coronavirus.”
