Back in October I told you that 'we have registered our 2 million steps' and that 'David now has set himself the challenge of reaching 2 million by Christmas by himself and I am aiming for 1 million by myself!' Well in early December we both met our new targets!!!!!!
I am so pleased we pushed ourselves back in the summer and early autumn as December has been very busy and difficult to go out for long walks. Add the shorter days to busy work and throw in a bit of illness - all this means the pedometers have not done a lot of counting recently! But we hope that over the holiday we will again be able to get out walking once more.
I will post one last blog on Sunday 22nd January 2012 for anyone interested. Then I will be able to tell you all the final figures - the amounts raised for Marie Curie Cancer Care and Water Aid, the actual number of steps walked and most fascinating for me how many people have accessed this blog and from which parts of the world.
We are going to keep on gathering sponsorship and donations until Christmas and after if people still want to give! Go to our Just Giving sites: for Marie Curie Cancer Care or for Water Aid
But can I thank all who have supported us on our challenge and wish everyone a great Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year
Until our final blog on 22nd January 2012
Jean and David Penny
PS It is great that many of you are getting interested in how many steps you walk each day and we know of some who have dusted off their own pedometers and started counting! Also, as we come to the last few days before Christmas, remember that pedometers make great and inexpensive Christmas presents.......
