One Million Step Challenge for Diabetes - Emma T

Firstly, this is NOT me begging for donations (I hate doing that!) This is something that I think is a perfectly timed challenge at a time where we have more flexibility and a need to exercise, especially for our mental well-being, but are probably (like me) spending a lot more time suck in doors in front of a computer screen for hours on end!

I have just registered for the One Million Step Challenge to raise money for Diabetes, but mainly to keep myself and my mind fit and healthy.

The challenge, to walk 1,000,000 steps in 3 months (10,000 per day) starts on the 1st July, but I have already started practising and plan to aim for 15,000 a day when the real challenge starts.

At work it is so easy to do 10,000 steps a day but at home it forces me to get out and walk. It has been a struggle in the heat the last few days, so I have not quite managed it but I have certainly walked more than I would usually, so I see it as a bonus either way!

So if you are finding yourself sat at your desk far more than you would like then I would definitely suggest taking a look. And its free!
