My Story

Hello, my name is Michael and I'm fundraising for Framework, a charity that supports people who are homelss or at risk of becoming homeless based in the East Midlands. 

I turned 10,000 days old recently, so I thought it would be a fun and daring idea to do 10 challenges relating to the number 10,000.  The idea is to get as many people involved in these challenges, trying out new things, doing different experiences, kick-starting positive actions, building new hobbies and pushing each other to get out of our comfort zones and making a difference to our communitites

Completed Challenges:

• 10,000 seconds without social media

On-going Challenges:

• Completing 10,000 pieces of jigsaw puzzles
• 10,000 push-ups

Planned Challenges

• Derbyshire Three Peaks Hike (10,000 decimetres) - Saturday 2nd May
• 10,000 second run - Saturday 16th May

Other ideas:

• a skydive ( roughly 10,000 feet)
• picking up 10,000 pieces of litter
• 10,000 XP on duolingo in one day
• Reading 10,000 words a day for 10 days

I would like to get as people as I can involved in these challenges - it will be so much better to do as a community!  There are two things I would like from you if you are reading this:

1. Suggestions on what other 10,000 related challenges we could do.  These can be absolutely anything relating to the number 10,000! Something physical, mental, social, quirky, creative.  A varied mix would be ideal!  Give me a message if you have a good idea!

2. Let me know if you want to take part in any of these challenges.  Decent at running? Train up to do the 10,000 seconds of running with me.  Want an adrenaline rush? Sign-up to do a skydive with me.  It would be amazing to get as many people involved a possible!

Thanks for reading,

Michael :D
