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.

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.
