It is the third charity walk for Stephen Johnson, who undertook his first challenge in 2023, where he walked 76km and 107,000 steps in a single day.

In 2024, he completed a challenge to walk more than 35 marathons over 31 days in aid of charity Grief Encounter which provides free professional and specialist bereavement support for young people.

For the latest of his trilogy of walking challenges, Johnson is seeking corporate sponsors to help him reach his fundraising ambitions for “meaningful causes”.

Commenting on his challenge, Stephen Johnson said: “This challenge is not just about steps; it’s about making an impact. My goal is to raise £100,000 for meaningful causes while closing this trilogy with an unforgettable achievement.”

He added: “Every step of this trilogy has been about pushing limits, inspiring others, and creating positive change.”
