Steve Hill has taken on numerous gruelling challenges right across the world, and now he s off to Iceland
Shaw school teacher and fund-raiser extraordinaire Steve Hill has announced details of his next big challenge for 2021 – to conquer ‘the Great Norse Run’.
Steve, who has been the Deputy Headteacher at the St Joseph’s primary school for 17 years, has vowed to run nine marathons in nine days across Iceland - the land of fire and ice – for 250 miles from the North to the South of the country.
He will be raising money for Team Hill Charitable Trust.
For almost a whole year, Daniel Kristof has run 5k every day to raise money for charity.
Since 1 April 2020, Daniel has been running around Rochdale, Newhey, Shaw and Saddleworth in aid of The Team Hill Charitable Trust & Destination Florida Children’s Charity.
Now, with under a month to go until the one year milestone, Daniel, who has been posting his journey online under the name ‘The Running Manc’, has raised over £3,000 for his cause and lost 4.5 stone – running through a global pandemic, running through every type of weather, running through injury and even running in his garden when self-isolating.
On the final day – Wednesday 31 March – Daniel intends to run his first ever marathon distance of 26.2 miles, starting in Rochdale and finishing at Media City UK in Salford.

The plaudits have been plentiful for Oldham teacher Steve Hill since he embarked on his monumental fundraising effort by taking on some of the toughest challenges right around the world.
Included in that is, of course, a trip to Buckingham Palace to receive an MBE and becoming an Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards which has seen him appear regularly on the lawns of the Palace inspiring those who have taken part in the award.
Now the primary school teacher, who has founded his own charity, is to be honoured by his home town.
