Every step
matters this
Men’s Health Week.

I’m taking strides to save men’s lives.

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?

My Updates

The First Day

Tuesday 10th Jun
Well what a day to start the Challenge. Wollongong turned on its windiest early winter day for years with 50+ kmh winds along the foreshore. With the wind chill factor the apparent temperature was around 3 degrees C.
So my normal outdoor hike was way too uncomfortable (I know everyone thinks I am a wuss)  therefore I had to settle for an indoor adventure, walking around our underground 5 acre carpark.
Anyway I did manage most of my daily goal of 5 km. Just a little bit to make up!

The Challenge Begins

Saturday 7th Jun
On Monday the 9th June I have committed to starting this Challenge - Walk for Him in Memory of Michael. It is particularly challenging this year as I recently had some cancerous lesions removed from my right leg. Two of them were close together on my right shin requiring a skin graft. This has been healing at snail's pace and the treatment regime is to keep my leg elevated. Not ideal as I have not figured out how to walk with my leg elevated.
Nevertheless I will start on Monday with a very modest target of 25km compared to previous walks and just see how it pans out.
Of course I will appreciate your support and Donations as always.
Cheers Rod

Well done Rod As a survivor (about 24 years) of an aggressive prostate cancer, which was only discovered due to my insistence on getting a PSA before taking a round Australia trip in our caravan. I became aware of the different types of treatment and there effectiveness by going online. So the more research that can be done, the better.

Congrats Rod, as we know PC has a massive impact on men - if we all have the blood test ... it would drastically reduce the impact of loosing men to the greatest killer! Many of us have been impacted, early intervention is the key to a better outcome. Michael will forever be in our heart ... take care Cheers Hammo
