11 Hours a Day, 10 Days, 200 Miles. Dan’s challenge launches UNICEF’s Keep It Up for Soccer Aid appeal with his World Record attempt

© UNICEFUK/2012/Johnson

Dan is visiting schools to inspire others who are doing their own Keep It Up for Soccer Aid challenges and to teach some ball tricks. Want to take part? Register for Keep It Up today!

While other are enjoying a day’s shopping in the iconic Selfridges building in Birmingham Dan continues to keep the ball in the air – only 100 miles to go!

No time for site seeing! Dan has been walking the equivalent of almost a marathon a day passing through St Albans, Milton Keynes, Daventry, Coventry, Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent and Macclesfield before arriving in Manchester, 200 miles and 10 days later.

Dan will take an estimated 400,000 steps during his World Recording Breaking attempt. Take a look at our Twitter map (link above) to see how far he's gone.
