5 MILLION STEPS
CHARITY EVENT
The quickest time to move 5 million steps
The Challenge
Exciting News! I'm thrilled to announce that I completed my challenge - the quickest time to move 5 million steps! Throughout the event I was taking between 40/50,000 steps a day.
Thank you to everyone that's joined me in supporting a fantastic cause, Ehlers-Danlos Support UK. Let's make a difference together! Be sure to follow me on social media for more updates and challenges!
Thank you for all the support I received on this exciting challenge.

Ehlers-Danlos Support UK
The motivation for this event is to increase both awareness and funding for the Ehlers-Danlos Support UK charity. I myself am diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and it has impacted my life in so many ways. I'll be sharing a lot of my stories along the way.
So what is Ehlers-Danlos syndrome? It is a group of genetic disorders that affect your connective tissues — primarily your skin, joints and blood vessel walls. Connective tissue is a complex mixture of proteins and other substances that provide strength and elasticity to the underlying structures in your body. Due to the global effect the condition can have on your body it literally can effect every body system. For me my worse parts affected is my digestive system and my joints.
I have set up a JustGiving page to raise money for Ehlers-Danlos Support UK. If you would like to, please donate here:
