Campaign Story
From the day Paul had his stroke he's worked tirelessly to get better. And he is, but it's slow. Slower than you can imagine. He wants to try some radical and expensive treatment in the US called Etanercept. It should (fingers very tightly crossed) help his speech and therefore his dearest wish to read our three young boys a bedtime story. Paul is aiming to take 10,000 steps per day for 35 days starting Monday 21st July to raise money for the treatment. That's the average daily step count for you and I, but Paul's steps are cumbersome and slow. He reaches 10,000 on a rare occasion (as notified by his Fitbit) but it's a struggle.

Hiccup
Update posted by paulty at 08:31 amSo we had a little hiccup this week when Paul suffered from a seizure. It meant a couple of nights in hospital and three days when he couldn't complete his 10,000 step daily target. He's back on track now though and recorded 11079 steps today and hopefully more over the
The treatment
Update posted by paulty at 07:54 pmThe treatment we'd like Paul to have is an injection, probably two into Paul's neck, he's then tilted at 45 degrees so the inflammatory medicine can go into his brain. It does remarkable things for some people's speech (and mobility) as you can see in the news report below but. . . . .
Incredible
Update posted by paulty at 11:21 amAs you may/may not have noticed I struggle to find the time to update on Paul Tyson's walking challenge. Apologies for that, but rest assured that every day Paul reaches his target.So far, that's 11 days, he's walked over 10,000 steps every single day, in fact this week he had. . . . .
A record
Update posted by paulty at 11:16 pmSo yesterday Paul recorded his highest number of steps yet - 15353. Fantastic.
Up and running, well walking
Update posted by paulty at 07:39 pmFinally we have resolved the issue with sponsoring. Paul's surpassed his target of 10000 steps every day so far. Day four today. Thanks for your patience.
Steps and sponsoring
Update posted by paulty at 07:40 amWell Paul's off and reached a few thousand steps over his 10,000 target on both day one and two. Apologies to those of you who are trying to sponsor Paul we are having some technical difficulties that I am trying to resolve.
