TIAA is proud to announce our official sponsorship of Military Miles 2026, an inspiring fundraising challenge that brings together the military community, industry partners, and supporters to make a meaningful difference.

This unique initiative will see members of the DIO Soft Facilities Management Team take on an incredible 7-day, 125-mile walk, raising vital funds for Military Veterans and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association. The challenge will run from 18–24 June 2026, beginning at the Bovington Tank Museum and concluding at Navy Headquarters.

Supporting Those Who Serve and Beyond

Military Miles is more than a physical challenge—it is a collective effort to support those who have served their country, as well as individuals and families affected by MND.

Throughout the route, service personnel from the Royal Navy, British Army, and Royal Air Force will join the walkers at various points, creating a powerful show of unity and support. Military bases and local communities will also play an active role, hosting fundraising events and helping to amplify awareness.

TIAA’s Role as a Sponsor
