28 Days of 10,000 Steps per day, for charity - holoz0r needs your help!

in fitness •  7 years ago 

Hi Steemit!

Recently, I posted about my wishes to get fit again, and lose some of the extra kilograms that I had piled on due to poor life choices. It is time for me to get back on the bus. You never need an initiative or reason to make a change in your life, but with the recent occurrence of my injury rendering me immobile, its important to remember that you've got to be grateful for what you have got.

Therefore, I am taking part in Steptember this year, which is an initiative run by the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. From their website:

...the Steptember charity event challenges people to take 10,000 steps a day for 28 days straight in, yes you guessed it, the month of September.

So, From Monday, 4 September I will be taking on the challenge of completing 10,000 steps a day, for the entire month of September to raise vital funds for Cerebral Palsy Alliance. How do I raise funds? Well, people donate to my page, https://stept.io/aU25cuC

Or, you can just up vote this post, and the all liquid SBD rewards I earn from this post will be donated to the campaign! I'll personally match the STEEM Power value in Australian dollars (up to $100) to the campaign.

Each year I've tried to do Steptember, I've failed. This is the year I'm going to hold myself to account, with the help of you all in order to ensure not a single day is missed.

If you want to take part as well, and you're located in Australia, you can take part here.

I expect these shoes to be a bit more trashed by the time the month is over.

Hi @holoz0r! @atopy is sending you 5.0 SBD tip and @tipU upvote :)

I've had some remarkable success with my weight loss scheme, called the Unemployed Diet. It's easy: Just restrict your diet to one or two meals per day, because you can't afford to eat more, and you'll shed the kilos in no time!

This is a diet I'll inevitably be on.

Great idea and even better cause, good luck :-) upvoted and resteemed.

Thank you, and thank you for the SBD you sent through. In a weeks time when I've made the donation, I'll be sure to update you all on my progress. :)

Oh id love to get into this one....why am i not from australia!!! I do round 5-8k steps just at work and in flip flops :D Easy peasy! tip! 5

Thank you for the tip. I'll make sure it finds its way to the donation :)

They do have this initiative world wide, under different names.

Tnx, I'll look into it!

I am Cornholio! You will co-operate with my bunghole!

...sure, bend over babe.

Would you like to see my bunghole?

Each year I think about doing this (and most of the other month based fundraising things) and then forget, only to be reminded by someone else posting about it on the first day of the month.

Good luck with getting your steps done, and better luck with raising a lot of money for a good cause

The same thing often happens with Dry July. Then people drink. :P

Therefore, I am taking part in Steptember this year,

This confused me for like 20 minutes. I've broken four paintings and my guitar in frustration... sTep! Clever.

I'd like to take part in this but... Where on earth would the 10,000 steps go? This city is junk! But then I have ballooned out to 90kgs so... maybe

I'm at 105 at the moment. Its too much. :)

Please apologise to the paintings and the guitar that you broke. ;)

haha 105 is like walking around the bathroom lol... exhausting, I know =(

I meant 105kg. 105 steps is just getting to the letterbox. ;)

Ahahah ohhhh, you certainly don't look 105 =/

Great job
