Surpassing the 3 million mark
George H in Year 5 is continuing his challenge to walk 10 million steps before his 10th birthday. George started this challenge on his 9th birthday in May and has now surpassed the 3 million steps mark. It has been tough going and as he doesn’t wear his watch when doing Games and PE, it is sometimes hard to track his efforts, but he continues to push on. So far George has walked the equivalent of Moulsford to Southern Greece but to reach 10 million steps he will need to do the equivalent of walking from Moulsford across the Atlantic to mid-West USA!
George knows it is going to be a real challenge to reach 10 million, but he is planning some big long family walks at weekends and during the holidays, mixed in with some golf!
George is aiming to raise funds for UK Mental Health Sports Charity, Sport in Mind. Through their work and innovative programmes delivered in partnership with the NHS, Sport in Mind helps transform the lives and mental health of children and adults through sport and physical activity. It is also one of Moulsford’s House charities for this year. You can donate to George here.
