The challenge may be over, but we couldn’t resist sharing a few of the funny moments that happened along the way! 🤣

Five little clips that definitely didn’t make the final videos… 😂

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗔𝗬! 🔥

We didn’t quite manage to get this one posted yesterday… because we were too busy celebrating a very successful Arena Karate 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹 & 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹! 😂🥳

But we couldn’t finish the challenge without sharing how Aiden and Oliver completed their final mile…

𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗣𝗨𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗙! 😂

The original plan was a wheelbarrow… unfortunately, we couldn’t find one!

So a wheelchair had to do! ♿️🤣

And yes… they pushed Stef for the full mile! 💪

After seven days of walking, paddle boarding, cycling, dribbling a football, swimming, running and now pushing their instructor around, the challenge is officially 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗘! ✅🔥

𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦. 𝗦𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗦. 𝗡𝗢 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗘! 👊

And between them, Aiden and Oliver have raised a 𝗪𝗛𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 £𝟯𝟳𝟯! 🔥❤️

That’s £373 towards helping them and the rest of the Team GB squad get to the WTKA World Championships in Italy! 🇮🇹🥋

A massive well done to both boys for taking on the challenge, sticking with it and getting all seven miles done. 👏🔥

And a huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared their posts and supported them along the way.

𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟯 𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲! ✅

After walking their mile on Day 1 and paddle boarding yesterday, today it was time to get on their bikes! 🚲

There was just one small problem… Oliver’s bike had 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗬𝗥𝗘𝗦 before they’d even left the house! 😂

So Mum’s bike was called into action… only it was a little on the big side for Oliver, who could barely touch the floor! 🚲😂

After yesterday’s paddle boarding, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, but that didn’t stop them getting their mile done! 👊

They headed out onto the river at Dedham and managed to complete their mile, with a few wobbly moments along the way! 😅
