Letter from the Editor: Trek or treat?
02 November, 2018
As we stepped off the train, the ice-cold wind hit our faces. There the Medical News Today editorial team stood, wrapped up in hats, gloves, and scarves, with maps in hand and ready to take on the challenge that lay ahead.
The challenge was a sponsored 8-kilometer hike across the South Downs, one of the most scenic parts of the United Kingdom.
Featuring chalk hills and Saxon burial mounds, it was the perfect setting for a Halloween hike.
Though there was a biting chill in the air, the walk was enjoyable, made extra special by the cows and horses we passed en route.
Most importantly, we raised more than $950 for Children in Need, a charity that funds more than 2,400 projects to help disadvantaged children and young adults across the U.K.
That feeling as we reached the end of our hike was second to none; the feeling that what we had achieved would really help people. It's the same proud feeling we get with every piece of content we produce.
So, which of our articles have you been enjoying most this month? It seems you're brushing the Halloween candy to one side in favor of a healthier lifestyle; our article on the most healthful vegetables proved popular in October, as did our article on how to lose belly fat.
