I did it! Thank you all so much for your sponsorship and encouragement. I completed my I million steps, covering 729Km, running 27% of the total distance. I did have to continue my steps for a few days beyond Christmas Eve, unfortunately a few personal issues conspired against me. I hope the money raised helps Julie Creffield in her quest to get more overweight women running. My next challenge is the Euro Disney Paris half marathon Sept 2017, in memory of my nephew Nathan Owen, on what will be our 10th year without him. x

Just a short update on my progress. My challenge finishes in the next two weeks. I have completed 807,344 steps This is equates to 589.79km of which I ran 182.94, almost 1/3 of the total distance I have got a lot to complete in the next 10 days, I need to cover 15km per day to meet my target, I am determined and will finish... Thank you to all of you who have sponsored me, your support keeps me going.

It's almost 6 weeks since I started and despite a week of a heady cold and no running I have looked back today with pride at. What I have achieved. My running has gone from 3-4K to a minimum 7k distance. In fact yesterday I did my very first 10k run. It was an epic milestone. My speed has increased from an average 10min, 30sec kilometres to 9min, 30sec kilometres. I whole minute faster I have completed over 400,000 steps of which I have run 95.81k My progress has been far better than I expected. Thank you for your support xxx
