Martyn's Lands' End to John o' Groats challenge for Public Health Collaboration

Martyn Pitchford is raising money for Public Health Collaboration

Lands' End to John o' Groats Walking Challenge · 1 May 2026

Public Health Collaboration (PHC) is a charity dedicated to reversing the type 2 diabetes epidemic, getting food addiction recognised and undoing the childhood obesity crisis. Our vision is to help cultivate a society where everyone enjoys good metabolic health.

Story

Last year, I completed the One Million Step Challenge which took place over three months. This year, I'm going to take on a bit more of challenge and walk the equivalent total length of the UK over five months. This is roughly 870 miles and works out at around 1.8 million steps.

I'm fund-raising for Public Health Collaboration because I feel that their low-carb approach is a real game-changer for people who want to put type 2 diabetes into remission and this option is not currently available to most people within the NHS. PHC need funds towards long-term follow ups to The Lifestyle Club (TLC) Study. This will help to provide scientific credence to the program which will take it from helping hundreds of people to helping millions.
