Million Steps Challenge 

After five fulfilling years, I will be stepping down as Chairman of the Grace Crocker Family Support Foundation. It has been an honour to serve such a vital cause that supports Jersey families during some of their most challenging times. 

To mark this transition, I’ve decided to take on the Million Steps Challenge a symbolic journey representing the distance from Jersey Hospital to Great Ormond Street Hospital and back. It’s the equivalent of completing 10 Round Island Walks in just one month! 

This challenge highlights the journey undertaken by hundreds of Jersey families seeking specialist treatment for their children in the UK. While they don’t walk it on foot, the emotional, logistical, and financial toll can be just as immense. That’s where the Grace Crocker Foundation, in partnership with our sister charity Family First, steps in offering practical and emotional support so families can focus on what truly matters. 

Since 2011, we’ve channelled over £1.4 million directly to families in need. The Million Steps Challenge has already raised over £20,000 and sparked tremendous awareness. I hope to add to that total while continuing the conversation, sharing stories, and maybe even making a few new friends along the way. 

Thank you for your continued support of this important cause. If you'd like to support my challenge or spread the word, every step counts.
