Goal raised to Ā£500
Sunday 13th Sep I think I started with a goal of Ā£150 which I very quickly reached so thank you again to my early sponsors. I have raised it two or three times since and have now reached my most recent goal of Ā£300 thanks once again to my generous sponsors. So today Iām raising it again to Ā£500 and look forward to surpassing this. Fingers crossed.Ā Share

Weekend in London
Tuesday 8th Sep Spent the weekend with our friend Maggy celebrating her birthday. With both a legendary amount of alcohol being consumed and time spent travelling we did not get a lot of walking done.Ā Share
Still under the weather
Thursday 3rd Sep Still under the weather but definitely better than yesterday. Only two miles again today so need to do more than that tomorrow.Ā Share
Struck down by the lurgy
Wednesday 2nd Sep I have been struck down by the lurgy today so only managed a couple of miles up to the airfield and back. But that is two more miles off the one hundred so all good.Ā Share
Why Iām doing this.
Wednesday 2nd Sep Like probably many of you I know far too many men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately the majority of them have survived and have been given the all clear. My twin brother, Alan, is one of them. He had his prostate removed by a surgeon using a robot. Sounds like science fiction but itās true. A very good pal of mine also had the same procedure. Advances like this are only possible through the funding of research. That is why I am asking you to support my efforts in raising money for Prostate Cancer Research.Ā ShareThank you to my Sponsors
