I’m taking on 10,000 steps every day in February for Young Lives vs Cancer. 

Young Lives vs Cancer help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day, 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news that they have cancer. Make a donation and show your support today.

Just a £26 donation could fund an hour of support from a Young Lives vs Cancer specialist social worker, ensuring children, young people and families always have someone by their side throughout their cancer journey.

£70 could pay for a night in a Young Lives vs Cancer Home from Home, a free place for families to stay close to specialist hospitals when their child is going through treatment, keeping families together.

Thank you for your support.

The start of my challenge

Thursday 29th Jan
I'm taking on a challenge to do 10k steps a day in February, while fundraising for Young Lives vs Cancer.

10k might not sound a lot, but I struggle with mobility due to my knee and I rely on knee splints/warmers to keep my knee working properly. I occasionally use a walking stick and sometimes (more rarely) I can't even weight bear on my left leg.

I had been averaging around 3k a day (thanks to my new Fitbit, which seems very stingy on steps 😂), but I've been working on increasing that number. I have found I CAN do 10k steps, but the main hurdle is the recovery the next day and trying to hit the goal consistently, day after day.

I am a work in progress, but I'm going to give it my all (but also listen to my body if I have pain and need recovery).

I'd really appreciate any donations to Young Lives Vs Cancer. They do great work to support people 25 and under with cancer, and also support their families to be near to them during their treatment.
