Story

To mark the 10th birthday of Maggie's Swansea this year, I am going to walk 10,000 steps every single day in 2021.  That's a total of 3,650,000 steps in the year and approximately 1,500 miles.  This is my challenge as I approach my 50th birthday next year.

I am doing this to raise money for Maggie's Swansea to help them continue to support people affected by cancer.  Maggie's have continued to offer support all the way through the pandemic.

Thank you to everyone who sponsors me.  You will help motivate me to complete the challenge.

UPDATE November 2021: Just over 10 months into my challenge and I have already walked 1500 miles this year.  I'm averaging over 11,000 steps every day.  Maggie's is seeing a tidal wave of visitors in need of help over recent months. Many more late diagnoses or treatment delays mean the need for our support is greater than ever.  There is no psycho-oncology or palliative care psychology service in the NHS in Swansea - it's just me.  With greater funds, we are able to advertise for a second psychologist here.  Thank you all who have sponsored me so far.  I am very grateful.

UPDATE January 1st 2022: All 365 days of 10000 steps every day through 2021 successfully completed. Any further sponsors welcome… it’s all for a good cause!
