From Who, What?
From STEEM/Hive supporters of course! If you've been following me for the last 2 years on my website or Twitter, you'll have seen me mention a blogging platform called STEEM (now called HIVE) where content creators and consumers can earn tokens for... well... creating and consuming!
You can then put these tokens back in to your account to grow it and support other content creators and consumers or you can exchange the tokens into fiat money (£, $ etc.).

Thank YOU to everyone who has supported me so far! 99 days in at time of writing and hopefully can continue with the challenge this year if we are still allowed to go out to exercise once per day with our lock down in place and I can stay injury and illness free of course!
If you wanted to make your own donations, head on over to my Just Giving page or, if you're not on HIVE yet and are interested in supporting on there, let me know and we can get you set up!
Coming up next, hype for the upcoming release on 10th April! Oooo yeah! Until then, take it easy!
