Every step
matters this
Men’s Health Week.
Walking 21.5km every day for 7 days from 9th to 15th June 2025, as I recover from Prostate cancer surgery
At the start of this year I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer. I have since had an operation to remove my prostate. I am hopeful that my future will be positive due to an early diagnosis. I am now recovering and want to raise awareness of this cancer for every male. Go and get a blood test. It is that easy. It may save your life. I had no symptoms, maybe you do not either!
Prostate cancer is Australia’s most commonly diagnosed cancer. 1 in 5 men are likely to be diagnosed in their lifetime.
That’s why, this Men’s Health Week, I’m making every step count.
Will you donate today and help fund new research to detect and defeat prostate cancer?

Training day 2
Wednesday 14th May Well a wet walk this morning. However managed 13.5km. Slightly sore in the hip department, so going to have to do some stretching to make sure these legs get me through the 7 days of walking.
Training starts
Saturday 10th May Training this morning was a 5km walk along the beach and back along the coastal path. Weather not very helpful but at least no chance of sun stroke. Those pelvic floor muscles of mine are getting a good workout.Thank you to my sponsors

Walking 21+ Kms a day for 7 days only weeks after a radical prostatectomy is akin to jogging home after a vasectomy. Speedy and total recovery Paul.
