I'm taking on the Walk 100 Miles in September 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 Walk 100 Miles in September Challenge for Prostate Cancer Research 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! 💙🧡

After the final walk

Thursday 1st Oct

I finished the challenge!

Thursday 1st Oct
After a brilliant first week, my aged body de used I was overdoing it, so I took the next week a little more carefully. Then the third week I was called away to visit a friend just out of hospital who needed lots of support, so the walking challenge took a back seat, I’m afraid. 
I always knew that 100 miles was beyond me, so I set my target at 50. Despite the circumstances, I managed to complete 40 miles altogether, so I’m quite proud of my efforts. 
Thank you again to those dear friends and relatives who sponsored me!

Longest walk so far …

Sunday 6th Sep
This morning’s walk took me to Margate’s Clock Tower by the main beach. 
I’ve now completed almost 14.5 miles, in only six days. 

The seafront at Palm Bay, Margate.

Day three and this is my longest single walk so far - 1.75 miles (I’ll add another mile this evening)

Walking on day 3 - got as far as the coast!
