As we approach this year’s RoadPeace Challenge, I want to take a moment to reflect on why this event is so important. Last year reported that 1,624 lives were tragically taken on UK roads in 2023. That’s 1,624 families left to grieve, countless futures cut short, and a powerful reminder of the urgent need for change.

The RoadPeace Challenge 2025 is our opportunity to remember those lost and take action for safer roads. From May 12–18, during UN Global Road Safety Week, we’re asking you to join us in covering 1,624 miles that’s one mile for every life taken. Whether you walk, run, or cycle, your participation will honour those who are no longer with us, support families left behind, and help us continue our mission to prevent future tragedies.

This challenge is not just about numbers, it’s about real people and real change. Every mile you cover is a step toward a safer future. Whether you take on a single mile in quiet remembrance or join a team to go the distance, your involvement matters deeply.

Many participants are dedicating their miles in deeply personal ways, such as a bereaved mother walking 22 miles in memory of her daughter who died at just 22 years old. These acts of remembrance give powerful meaning to every step, turning grief into action and love into legacy. Together, we can ensure no bereaved family faces their journey alone. Your support allows us to continue providing vital services, from crisis helplines and peer support groups to advocacy for justice and meaningful change.
