Outlander actor Sam Heughan has raised a whopping £590,000 for charity this year, with the help of his organisation My Peak Challenge, which he founded in 2017. Fellow members - known as Peakers - set themselves a challenge, physical or otherwise, in a bid to raise cash.
Between filming Outlander and running a very successful whisky business, Sam always makes sure he finds the time to work out with My Peak Challenge.
And since the organisation began, they have raised around $6.9m (£5.8m) for good causes. This year alone, Peakers have raised over $711k (£592k) and planted 607,000 trees.
A delighted Sam took to Instagram to share the great news with his fans, writing: "$6.9M raised for chosen charities! 607,000 trees planted! Over 2 Billion steps What a year @mypeakchallenge!
"What Peakers we have! I couldn't be more proud of everything we have accomplished. As we reach the end of MPC2022 and in honor of #GivingTuesday, we are reflecting on what an incredible year this was for our #Peaker community!"
He added: "In addition to walking around the world 57times for our annual #MunroStepChallenge in support of @BloodCancerUK, this year we partnered with @OneTreePlanted and planted more than half a million trees. Together, we raised a total of $711,833, bringing our total amount raised to date to a staggering $6,915,735!
"Thank you to all our #Peakers for supporting the vital work of our charity partners. I can't wait to share what we are planning for #MPC2023! Get ready, Peakers! Happy holidays!"
And fans were so impressed with the incredible fundraising. One wrote: "What an achievement. So proud of all Peakers and our wonderful MPC team."
Whilst another added: "Absolutely amazing!! So proud to be a part of it!" While one said: "You are a fabulous person. Love that about you. Congratulations."
