Intrepid fundraiser Steve Hill from Shaw has completed his latest epic Summer Challenge for charity and is now back home (temporarily) putting his feet up.

Steve told the Chronicle about his latest 'incredible adventure', during which he raised more money for his charity, the Team Hill Charitable Trust.

"Wow - what a Summer," beamed Steve.

"It's been an extremely tough challenge, but what an incredible adventure it has been in two amazing parts of the world."

During the summer holidays, gutsy schoolteacher Steve completed five marathons in Mongolia and climbed to the summits of five mountains in Guatemala.

He added: "It's time for a few days rest now before the start of the new school year."

Steve is first and foremost a teacher, but a teacher with a difference.

He takes on immense challenges each year, raising to date over £200,000 for good causes as he pushes the boundaries to help inspire others.

Steve is the founder of Team Hill Charitable Trust and is an Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards.

He has been awarded an MBE for services to education and charity – along with multiple other awards including a National Teaching Award, Inspirational Teacher of the Year, National Happiest School Person, and Adventurer of the Year, as well as many others.
