My target 99000 Steps

I’m taking on the 99,000 Steps Challenge to support Together for Short Lives.

From 17 - 23 June in Children's Hospice Week, I'll be completing 99,000 steps - one for every child in the UK with a life-limiting condition.

In the UK, there are 54 children's hospices dedicated to caring for seriously ill children and their families. However, these hospices face a funding shortfall and rely heavily on voluntary donations. 

That's why I'm taking on this challenge to raise vital funds for Together for Short Lives and children's hospices, so they can continue to provide services and support for seriously ill children and families facing the unimaginable.

Wow! This challenge is definitely not easy, and I absolutely did not realise how far 99000 steps is!! 

My 7 year old wanted to help me raise as much money as possible, so has pledged to walk to and from school every single day this week, which will equate to just over 11 miles for him! We have been wearing our purple hoodies with pride! 

As a staff member at TfSL, I really wanted to take on this challenge, as this is something I’m really passionate about. I feel so privileged that I get to work with AMAZING families, and this is my way of giving back. As I said to start, this challenge is not easy, but it’s nothing compared to some of the challenges some families face, so every penny we can raise to support children’s hospices and the 99000 children with a life limiting condition, will be SO appreciated!!!
