I started my year of challenges by joining many others on the 'Every Step Counts' challenge for Jersey Hospice. I enjoyed getting out and about in the crisp wintery air and seeing if I could beat my previous days step total so much that I decided to challenge myself further.

Being inspired by others I came up with the idea of a different fitness challenge for every month of the year.

Whilst doing this I would like to support 6 local charities who, for reason or another, are close to my heart...

Jersey Hospice, The Donna Annand Melanoma charity, Onocology (Friends of), Jersey MacMillan, Glenville Care Home and The Grace Crocker Foundation.

The challenges will be...

January - Every Step Counts - COMPLETED

February - Jersey to Southampton hospital - COMPLETED

March - Lans End to John O'Groats (1,083 miles) - COMPLETED

April - Lands End to John O'Groats (1,083 miles) - COMPLETED

May - Pilates session everyday, supported by Unity Pilates - COMPLETED

June - 20,200 steps a day (The cost to run Jersey Hospice daily). COMPLETED

July - 5k a day - COMPLETED

August - Island Walk and the distance around all other Channel Islands, totalling 112.1 miles - COMPLETED

September - Sea swim everyday - COMPLETED

October - 50 sit ups/ Press Ups/ Squats/ Tricep dips and lunges every day - COMPLETED

November - Run a 1/2 Marathon each week - COMPLETED

December - A mixture of my favourite challenges over 4 weeks - 20,000 steps a day, Pilates everyday, Cycling 10 miles everyday and Run 5k a day.

At the end of the year I will split any money raised to my chosen charities.

I know its been a tough year for everyone but I would be grateful if you could donate as much or as little as you can spare.

Thank you and wish me luck XXX
