March the Month 16,126 steps - Day 7

Working this morning, so out this afternoon for my walk. Took it slowly to avoid passing a primary school at chucking out time as experience last week showed that social distancing doesn't exist at that time. As a result I spent a little time with fungi on dead tree trunks.

Stats for today's walk were 8.0 miles with a total climb of 1987 feet, with a total of 13,764 steps on the walk and the remainder of the 16,126 steps at home.

Not bad for someone with a dicky ticker, dodgy knees and dodgier prostate. The aim is to clock up in excess of 11,000 steps, 1 for every man who dies every year from Prostate Cancer in the UK. I was diagnosed with this cancer early in the lock down.

Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK and each year more than 11,000 men die from the disease. The impact of the coronavirus crisis means that life-saving research is at risk. Men have never needed your support more to protect research into better tests and treatments to stop prostate cancer being a killer.

I know that due to Covid things are tough for many people out there (my own income is down by 50%), but if you can spare something please do support me.
