Two years ago, Helena and Tessan walked 100 000 steps for the first time. They were convinced they wanted to do it again, and now it's time! On Friday, May 19, they will walk 100 000 steps in 24 hours. As part of the challenge, they have started their own fundraising for Erikshjälpen, raising money to support children's right to safety and protection.
The idea of starting their own fundraising for Erikshjälpen came from two friends, Helena and Tessan, who wanted to take on the challenge of walking 100,000 steps in 24 hours again after two years since they last did it.
-"We did it, and it's the hardest and most fun thing we've ever done! says Tessan.
After that walk, they knew they wanted to do it again on another occasion, combining business with pleasure and raising money for a good cause.
- I did some research and finally found Erikshjälpen, because it is the largest proportion that actually goes to the purpose you collect for and that we had the opportunity to create our own fundraising so we see how much we actually manage to get together, says Tessan.
Their fundraising will last throughout the walk, and will go towards our work for children's right to safety and protection.
Tessan and Helena are great examples of how to make a positive change in the world by combining a personal challenge with a meaningful cause. By walking 100,000 steps in just 24 hours, they have not only demonstrated what an individual can achieve, but they are also inspiring others to get involved in important issues.
