My target 10000 Steps

I’m fundraising for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. And I need YOUR support.

Did you know? Every minute of every day, a child is admitted to hospital in Australia.

This May, I’m taking on the Super Steps challenge to raise funds that will make hospital a happier place for seriously ill children.

I’ve set myself a goal to walk 10,000 thousand steps every day, for an entire month. And I need your support.

When you sponsor my challenge, you’ll help create much needed happiness for sick kids and their families. The money you donate will help seriously ill children cope better with the pain and stress of treatment and helps families feel more connected and positive about what lies ahead.

Any amount you can spare will help brighten kids’ lives when they’re going through tough times in hospital. Can I count on your support?

My Updates

Day of Firsts

Friday 1st May
Day One of the challenge started with walking one of my children to their school bus stop. 
From there I donated some handmade bookmarks to my local street library. 
My goal for the walk was to see if I could do 8kms and reach 10,000 steps. 
Music on, I walked for almost 2 and half hours stopping along the way to an op-shop, with the final destination my local shopping centre. I had reached over 15,000 before 11am. 

I decided I would track my entire day, everything from walking around the shops, sharing a lovely lunch with my husband, to the afternoon where I was back to walking to meet my son at his school bus stop. 

Today was a day of firsts. First day of the challenge, first time walking over 8 kms (total of 10.31 kms) and first time getting over 10,000 steps in one walk. 

Excited to see how Day Two goes!
