Reesh Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/ryszards-walk-100-miles-challenge-giving-page My great grandma and the bloke who raised me both lost their fight with this awful disease and any donations would be gratefully received, I start tomorrow and with the dog we usually do about 40 miles a week so should have this done before the clocks go back!

Andyben Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) FFS it's WALK a hundred Miles. Misread it and wondered how you were going to measure it? Number of Strokes x average length most obvious. No need to send me the video proof now @Reesh Edited October 6, 2022 by Andyben 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reesh Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 12 plus miles today. Hoping to be half way through the 100 miles by Saturday evening. Cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomcore Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I lost my mum to cancer when she was only 50. Good luck Reesh and well done raising money for a great charity. I sent a few pounds. On a side note, walking is also wonderful for mental health. I used to challenge myself to 10k steps before 10am while I was struggling and it really helped me. Being active and walking with he odd good morning or even a stop and chat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but the dog keeps me sane Even other folks' dogs leave me (and their owners) with a smile when I'm out walking, like this morning. They're the easiest way to break the ice and have a laugh with strangers. Most respond in that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
