Stride for Stroke

I'm taking part in the Stride for Stroke challenge!

I joined #TeamStroke for Stride for Stroke. I will be taking one step for each of the 1.3 million stroke survivors in the UK. The 1.3 million steps challenge works out at 10,000 steps a day for 130 days.

Stroke Association is here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke. We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke, so we work with the stroke community to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support. We rely on your support to provide vital services, campaign for better stroke care and fund research into preventative and rehabilitative treatments.

I've done it!!!!!

Thursday 9th May
130 day challenge is complete, and I have done it!!!! Total steps of 1,310,410 😀 I cannot believe I have done it. Only one month where I had a few spells of illness which put my average steps below 10,000 a day but I pushed and got back on track and nailed it! So proud of myself as 130 days is such a long time to keep going. There is still time to sponsor me, and to those who have, thank you so much xxx

8 days to go!!

Wednesday 1st May
With 8 days left I am fully on target! I am currently at 1,228,448 steps and still 80,000 left which I will make! Cannot believe I am going to make it 😀

90 days completed!!

Sunday 31st Mar
OK so I have been awful at keeping this updated but it doesn't mean I haven't been doing the challenge. 
I was putting my daily totals on the tracker on here but unfortunately it was deleting some of the totals and messing with the total so I have been keeping track on paper and via my fitbit.
As can be seen on my tracker the first 30 days went really well and I was 8,000 over target. Unfortunately in the next 30 days I had a few days when I was not very well and so I was down on that time. But never mind because I have caught up!! At 90 days I am over 900,000 steps and averaging just over 10,000 steps a day. 
I am fully on target and with just 40 days to go, I cannot wait to successfully complete the challenge. 

1st Day!

Monday 1st Jan
So today is the first day of a brand new year and the first day of this challenge! 10,000 steps every day for 130 days, I must be mad!! But I am determined for such an excellent cause, as they do so much amazing work. I cannot believe that on a New Year's Day I have actually succeeded in getting my backside off the settee and managed my first 10,000 steps. 
I am planning on giving an update every 10 days when I will also post a picture of my steps tracker to show my progress.
Well, here's to 129 more days, wish me luck!!!
