Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
This has been a tough year for most of us but this year started off particularly badly for my husband, Dave, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, even though he had not shown any symptoms at all. Fortunately, he completed his treatment just before full lockdown in March and has recently been given the all clear!
Accordingly, Dave has asked me to urge all men over the age of 50 to go for a PSA test at their Doctors - it could be a lifesaver!
So, to my challenge!
Last week was my 60th birthday; I was born in 1960; tomorrow is the 6th of October; the distance from Lands End to John o’ Groats, as the crow flies, is apparently 603 miles (or 970.43 km). So, in a moment of madness I thought, why not walk the 603 miles virtually, in 6 weeks, which is approximately 100 miles a week!
So that is what I am going to do, starting tomorrow, and hopefully raise money for Prostate Cancer UK along the way!
I shall be walking the virtual distance (all walks will be logged on the Strava app) mostly on my own, but I am hoping that Dave and family and friends will join me for some of the miles!
Thank you!
