I'm taking on the Cycle 300 Miles in June Challenge
Did you know that 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?I’m taking on the Cycle 300 Miles in June Challenge for PCR to change this and help make a difference to men and their families who have been affected by prostate cancer.
Please support me during this challenge by donating what you can to Prostate Cancer Research. Every donation you make helps advance our mission to create a world free from the impact of prostate cancer.
Thank you for your support! 💙🧡

Blog, a first for me! Edited by Sparkle
Wednesday 10th JunIn recent times two close friends have been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, my Father had prostate problems but never to my knowledge was diagnosed, (we never talked about personal issues back in that time). With my friends both in their early 70’s being affected it stimulated me to reply to an advertisement to Cycle 300 miles in June for Prostate Cancer Research.
Although we are keen cyclists, cycling the local roads, taking our bikes on the car to other destinations and taking cycling holidays on the continent, we wouldn't normally cycle 300 miles in a month! I have kept a cycle mileage log for 15 years and we cycle for general fitness and the enjoyment of looking over the hedgerows for different scenery or spying on different birds or animals!
The 300 miles challenge in 30 days breaks down to 10 miles a day every day! This seems achievable but with existing appointments already in the calendar it made me think of a slightly different strategy by thinking of 75 miles per week for 4 weeks!
After registering I received my bright blue t- shirt and from that point I announced to every friend, family member, former colleague, associate and neighbour that I was taking part. I have been amazed by such a positive response from their donations and comments. Even while out cycling wearing my t-shirt people have stopped to chat and sponsored me because they have had the disease or know of someone.
The target of £150 was soon past and I am staggered by the support and kindness people have shown. My current target is £750 but hopefully I will surpass this amount before the end of the month!
The actual cycling effort has started well too, achieving 109 miles in the first week even though the weather has been wet and windy like April showers in June! Having a challenge has motivated my cycling activities and although the challenge is 300 miles I am contemplating increasing my personal target to 400 miles because it is such a worthy cause.
I would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me and raised important research funds for Prostate Cancer. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
