Not only were the donations significant, but those taking part, both children and adults, had a great time while also getting some exercise and fighting for a good cause.
In fact, more than 6000 Euros were raised, which will be enough for approximately 1,500 meals. The fight isn’t over there, though - the goal is 12.000 Euros, which would help the Malta Soup Kitchen feed the needy for a whole month!

The fight against hunger is never done, unfortunately, so you can keep donating to the Malta Soup Kitchen here:
Now, how did things go down at the University track in Malta? The run started earlier as Stephen was rearing to go, and everything just got better from there!
The indomitable Mr. Nurminen ran throughout the night, keeping a rigorous schedule, hydrating regularly, and leading by example when it came to fighting for a cause. Congratulations are in order for the ironman, but also for those who kept him company throughout phases of this incredibly difficult undertaking.
Every step was counted, and every donation will make a difference!
The Malta police department also joined Steve’s 24-hour run, bringing the community’s collected donations. Every step has fueled positive change and turned solo efforts into a community-driven force for good.
The fitness classes that were part of the whole event were also a resounding success. From Children’s Junglebox Hyrox action and Fun Run, to the idyllic Yoga Bliss sun-drenched session, all of the participants showed community spirit and supported the Move for Meals cause with vigor, especially the amazing kids that took part!
Everyone from the Malta Police Force onwards showed up and showed out with their king contributions. Thank you to everyone who took part and thank you to all those who donated. The money collected will go a long way to helping the Malta Soup Kitchen feed the hungry during these cold winter months.
Make sure to Move with Steve and Move for Meals to continue making a difference and fighting hunger!
