Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Update on 9th September.......well its all over for another year and we all finished in various states in the USA. Its been a real fun journey while all feeling that little bit healthier. Some of us cant bear to part with our pedometer and are still wearing them to make sure that we dont get out of the healthy habit!! Thank you so much for joining us and allowing others to benefit, by contributing.
Update on 7th September. WFHA have three teams entered in a virtual walk around the world. It started on 20 May 2010 and ends today. We have walked in Russia; Europe, Asia, Africa, South Georgia; South America and all three teams are now in the USA in various locations and collectively are on thier way to 28 million steps!
WFHA would like you to help them raise money for Age Concern Waltham Forest, so that they too can benefit from our efforts.

The Global Corporate Challenge® combines exercise, fun and ‘virtual’ interactive experiences in some of the most amazing places on earth.
The event was created to address the emerging health crisis resulting from the triple threat of longer workdays, sedentary occupations and little or no exercise. The GCC is a fun program that increases staff fitness, promotes teamwork and workplace morale, fosters positive competitive spirit, and supports the workforce to be active, healthy, and more productive. We have joined over 1,200 of other leading organisations from over 75 countries worldwide to take up the challenge while investing in the wellbeing of our valued employees.
Every day, each team member logs on to the award winning GCC website and enters their step count. The site adds their individual step count to their team total. The site then converts this total to a kilometre/mile distance, and plots the team’s progression along the virtual tour of the world (the more active they are, the further they go). Most importantly, participants are exercising more, reaping the health benefits, and developing a healthy habit that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
