Story

Hi, I'm Joe and earlier this year I was unlucky enough to get cancer for the second time. I first had it in 2000 and thought I had done well to stay healthy, but this year in March the big C caught up with me and I had to ride the chemo merry-go-round again. Lots have changed in the 20 year gap, I'm older, wiser, fitter and married, but one thing that stayed as awful as ever was the chemo.

Even knowing what to expect does not make it any easier but the wonderful staff at Woolverstone ward have helped (and are still helping me) every step of the way.

So even though I have only just finished my final cycle of treatment, I want to give back. I'm not at my fittest but this is a great way to raise money and awareness and to get back on the road to recovery. Every donation no matter how insignificant it may seem will help. 

I'm going to try and do 300,000 steps in September, working out at 10k a day. A big ask as I find the stairs at home a challenge at the moment!

Thanks for reading, if you want to join me on any of the steps please drop me a message as company would be great!

I'll update my total steps on here every couple of days

Joe
