Take 1 million steps over 3 months and get sponsored for every stride to help us reach a future where diabetes can do no harm.

Story

I'm aiming to walk TWO MILLION steps in 92 days to raise money for Diabetes UK, as part of their one million steps challenge between July 1 and September 30. That means averaging well over 20,000 steps a day, every day for 3 months. That's nearly a THOUSAND miles, or 36 marathons. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I hope this challenge shows that walking is an accessible and achievable form of exercise.

Having said that, this is by far the most challenging thing I've ever attempted. By a LONG way!!

I'll regularly post updates on my progress and how it's all going. Please consider donating just a few of your hard earned pounds. I, along with all those affected by this illness, really appreciate anything you're able to spare. And I assure you every penny will go to the world's top scientists and medical researchers and will fund life changing work.

Thank you.
