Taking one million steps for charity - ec06aaj - 06-04-2024
[This post is HO approved. It is also approved by my cats.]
Diabetes: kinda sucks. That is why I'm taking on a challenge organised by Diabetes UK: between July 1st and September 30th, I will be taking one million steps. You may say "but ec06aaj, that's a mere 10,869.565 steps per day!" And you would be right, but consider this:
a) I will be taking those 10,870 steps (I rounded up) every day for 92 days. No lazy days, no slacking, it will be step every day or fail and be a loser forever more.
b) The average temperature over those 92 days is projected to be 720 degrees with a humidity of 137%, and I live in England where we don't have air conditioning. Every single step is going to suck and therefore this challenge will suck one million times.
c) I am inherently both lazy and fat.
d) This is not part of the SHL charity drive, this is a separate endeavour I am doing (is that clear enough @sköldpaddor)
The challenge has some rewards for reaching certain goals but I am truly not bothered about them. I would like to offer stretch goals of my own volition but I sense pledging to retire Simo and immediately create a player named Lolsuckstobe Edmonton if I raised £1000 would not be in the spirit of things. Instead, please consider donating because diabetes is a dick of a condition.
This is the donation link, with my real name (gasp) and my realer face (gasp). Please do not doxx me.
Thank you and Blizzard hard.

I went to my GP about it about six weeks ago because a lot of things I was feeling matched symptoms of type 2 - came back with no cause for concerns, but googling meant my FB algorithm threw the details of this fundraiser at me and it's right up my street.
