Intrepid Oldham fundraiser Steve Hill MBE has set his latest amazing challenge for 2024 as he continues to raise vital funds for the Team Hill Charitable Trust.

August will see Shaw schoolteacher Steve head to central America when his Big Challenge for 2024 will see him attempt to run FIVE marathons AND climb five mountains.

Steve will run the five marathons through Mongolia and then climb five mountains in Guatemala - including the highest mountain in Central America.

Steve said: "Once again I'll be raising money for Team Hill Charitable Trust - it should be fun!"

Steve has undertaken a huge number of major fundraising challenges to raise well over £200,000 for good causes.

These have included climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, trekking 200 miles across the Sahara Desert and completing multiple marathons, including the Mount Everest and North Pole Marathons, along with Ultra Marathons through the Amazon Jungle and the Arctic wilderness.

More recently, Steve completed 14 consecutive marathons running coast to coast across Costa Rica and Tajikistan. 

In 2019, Steve founded his own charity, the Team Hill Charitable Trust, through which he raises money to support projects and causes in his local community.

Steve organises gift bag appeals for young carers in Oldham, purchases equipment for children with disabilities, and regularly spends time decorating the local hospital’s children outpatient department.
