An Excellent One Million Steps Challenge

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

Last year I did the One Million Step Challenge for Diabetes UK. As well as raising lots of funds for a fantastic charity, it was also great for my physical and mental health.
As TEAS has been adversely impacted, financially, by the Pandemic, I've decided to do another One Million Steps Challenge, but this time to raise funds for TEAS! This will be undertaken over three months (March, April and May) and I am hoping that lots of friends, family and supporters of the charity, will sponsor me to do this. I am also hoping that lots of you will join me too and raise funds for TEAS! The million steps can be walked, run, danced or in any way you want to do them! It should be great fun!
I will be verifying all steps taken, using my Fitbit, but you can use any method you wish to record your steps!
Please get in touch if you would like to take part in this challenge! I promise you it will be fun!

Love Debbie xx

Thank you so much! I'm jut in the process of registering TEAS with JustGiving, so as soon as that is completed, I will be able to make a fundraising page and will share that on here, as soon as it''s done.

So thats around 11,000 steps a day?

Yes

 

[Betsy]

Well 11,000 steps a day for 3 months certainly sounds less daunting that 1 Million steps in 3 months! I'm sure you'll manage that Debbie. I'll def be sponsoring you!

If you go for a good walk every day, it’s fairly doable. However, you’ve only got to have a day when you do much less and you soon find that average going up sharply xx

I haven’t been getting anywhere close to what I need to do, recently.

That's the problem! Life gets in the way sometimes (well all the time!)

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Wow. . That's a lot of steps and a challenge. Me and my four piggies girls will to sponsor you. Xx

 

[Free Ranger]

Homeworking hubs has been doing 10,000 a day for some of this year and lost a stone in a month so I hope you're a Big Girl or there won't be anything left of you! We'll also be happy to sponsor such a great cause x

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

I had a great start to this challenge, yesterday!

 

[Free Ranger]

Well done!
Do you have a song that you hear in your head as you walk along in time? Or do you use headphones!

Yesterday, I walked with a friend, but when walking alone, I like listening to the sounds of nature, or spend the time thinking through coursework asignments. I like listening to music if I go for a run!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Gosh well done you, there will be nothing left of you as you are nice and slim already

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Well done @furryfriends (TEAS)
I'm saving some penny's for you. X
Fantastic cause.

 

[Two_Wheeks]

I will absolutely be sponsoring you!

@furryfriends (TEAS) Can I donate extra on top of my monthly standing order contribution to TEAS instead of through the Just Giving website?
It looks like their will be extra fees taken, for using their gift aid service, etc. & I'm already registered for that with you anyway.
I'm hoping you'll receive a bigger donation if I donate directly to TEAS with no fees deducted?
(although I guess it won't look like as many donations towards your target )

Happy walking xx

Thank you! Yes of course you can!

 

[GPTV]

Thank you! Yes of course you can!

Fab, I'll see if I can sort a donation on my banking app (not sure what I'm doing but I'll give it a go!) it's gotta be easier than your million steps xx

Edit... There I think I've sent it? Please claim gift aid back on it too xx

The plan is, by the end of the challenge, I will be beach body ready!

That's if the beaches are open?

Perhaps I should join you... I'm kinda beach board shaped, thin at the top & bottom, but considerably wider in the middle!

I think I've donated now-hit my milestone of using my banking app to make a payment for the first time (only had it since about last April lol!) xx

You've now hit your milestone! I just need to hit mine! I'm not planning on going far, this summer, but I'm desperate to see the sea! Considering how much I love the sea, I couldn't live further away from it!

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

Here is my progress so far!

Huge thanks for all the sponsorship!

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]
