The Taylor family, alongside friends and Jet2 colleagues, have walked a combined distance of 6,285 miles in support of the fundraiser.

Jack and Steve, who live in Sutton-in-Craven, calculated that each member of the team walking 1.3 miles a day from January to May would allow them to cover 5,458 miles.

This is the equivalent distance linking Jet2’s 14 UK airport bases, starting from Manchester and ending at Bournemouth, and then continuing on to the airline’s furthest destination, Sharm El Sheikh.

What began as a family fundraising challenge soon grew into a company-wide effort, with colleagues across Jet2 eager to get involved.

Reflecting Jet2’s culture of working as One Team, colleagues and apprentices from across the business, including cabin crew, ground operations, engineering teams and purchasing, rallied behind the fundraiser.

After receiving an overwhelming response from colleagues wanting to take part, Steve created a system to log and track miles completed across the group. The challenge quickly became a shared goal, with colleagues encouraging one another and contributing miles whenever they could.

Engineers Development & and Training Manager Steve joined Jet2 in 2015, after serving in the RAF for 25 years. During his time with the leading leisure airline and UK’s largest tour operator, he has supported the company's growth from the first fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft to more than 135 aircraft today across 14 UK airport bases.

In his current role, Steve is passionate about developing the next generation of aircraft engineers and helping apprentices build rewarding careers within the business.

Steve Taylor said: “Truly, nothing beats working for Jet2, the company supports its colleagues across the entire business, right from ground operations all the way to the head office.

"What started as an idea to raise awareness and funds for Muscular Dystrophy UK became something much bigger, creating special memories for our family and showing just how much people care. We can’t thank everyone enough for their efforts and kindness along the way.”
