The Norfolk and Norwich Christian community website Thomas takes steps to place children in families Thomas Abbott, from the Norwich-based charity Care for Children, is walking 200,000 steps to raise money for his charity. Thomas and his wife Rachel previously worked in Thailand and Vietnam developing the charity, which places children from orphanages in local families. They are now back in Norwich. For the first time in his life Thomas has agreed to participate in a fitness challenge. “My personal goal is to raise US $2,000 / £1,500 by walking, running… limping over 200,000 steps this month,” he said. So far he has done 95,000 steps and raised $635.
