Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going to walk a total of one million steps during the months of July, August and September 2018 to raise funds for Diabetes UK. I am one of 4.6 million people in the UK who live with diabetes.  There are a further 12.3 million people at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.  The funds you donate will help support those living with the condition, prevent Type 2 diabetes and fund research to find a cure.

In order to complete this challenge, I will need to walk an average of 10,900 steps per day every day for three months.  Effectively, this will mean walking about 5.2 miles (or 8.4km) every day and covering a total of around 480 miles (or 772.8km).  As the crow flies, that is roughly equivalent to walking from London to Stuttgart, Germany (730km) or Zurich, Switzerland (778km).

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
