Ten Thousand Steps
In March 2021 Bro Paul Charlton undertook a fundraising challenge for Cancer Research UK. Throughout the month he was to walk 10,000 steps daily: a total of 310,000 steps. However, he was so enthusiastic he actually walked 343,783 steps which is 262 km: the equivalent of walking from Bath to Preston in Lancashire. In doing so he lost 4.5 kg in weight.
At the start Paul set himself a target of raising £250, however he ultimately raised £1,050which was helped by a £200 donation from Connaught Lodge that was readily agreed by all the brethren.
