Steve is running to raise funds for the distribution of 5,000 meals to individuals facing hardships in partnership with the Soup Kitchen in Valletta. The initiative underscores the importance of community support and highlights the critical issue of food insecurity. “Similar to my previous runs, the goal is to raise funds which will then be handed over to Garnish (a meal prep company) to provide meals to those in need, specifically to SoupKitchenOFM and Dar Hosea,” says Steve.

The adventure kicks off this weekend, on August 11th, in the town of Mae Sot. Steve’s route will take him across Thailand’s diverse landscapes, covering 100-120 kilometres each day. From rolling hills and rural trails to bustling urban streets, he will experience the country’s vibrant culture and challenging weather conditions, which include heat, humidity, and rain. His final destination is Mukdahan, a town on Thailand’s east coast, marking the completion of his cross-country endeavour.

In preparation for this extraordinary challenge, Steve has been training intensely since February, running daily and covering longer distances on weekends. To simulate the run’s demands, he practiced sleep-deprived fasts to better understand the difficulties he’ll face. Steve will run for 16 to 18 hours each day, using the remaining time to rest and refuel.

Steve will be supported by a dedicated team, including his partner and dog, a videographer to document the journey and a van driver to assist with logistics and support.

The funds raised will be used to distribute 5,000 meals to those in need, with each meal costing €4. Supporters are encouraged to contribute to this meaningful cause through GoGetFunding, with details available on Steve’s Instagram account. Donations can also be made via Revolut at +356 79049126 or BOV Mobile at +356 99450718.
