Barely a week after inspirational school teacher and fund-raiser extraordinaire Steve Hill was successful at the prestigious Educate Awards, he's been at it again!
Steve, who works at St Joseph’s Primary School in Shaw, triumphed in the ‘Most-Loved Community Leader’ category at the I Love Manchester awards last night (Thursday).
"What a night, I still can’t quite believe it," beamed Steve.
"I'm so honoured to have won the ‘Most-Loved Community Leader’ award.
"Thanks everyone for all your support and encouragement and for all those who voted for me."
It's been a hectic few months for fundraiser and adventurer extraordinaire Steve.
During the school summer holidays he ran seven marathons across Costa Rica (running from the Pacific Coast to the Caribbean Coast) through jungles - encountering snakes, spiders, ants and even crocodiles!!
He then flew to Tajikistan in the Eastern Hemisphere and ran seven more marathons across the country from the Afghanistan border to the China border along the Silk Road through the Bartang Valley in temperatures above 40 degrees - "it was brutal!" said Steve.

Upon his return from his epic Summer Challenge he was then welcomed to a special Mayoral Reception at the Mayor's Parlour in Oldham.
