Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am going 'dry' and generally detoxing during September to raise money for this charity.  I know this is Cancer Research's fundraising baby but I have undertaken many walks for this charity in the past and I am sure they cover the same research but this is quite important to me at the moment.  Particularly into the research and I also want to promote to friends and family the need to ask for the prostrate blood test (PSA) for men in their 50s at least.  Us girlies have mammograms and smear testing when we reach a certain age but the guys only get this test if there are problems.  It is alarming that 1 in 8 men will develop prostrate cancer and this is usually slow growing but can lay dormant for years but when advanced can sadly spread into bones.  

So I'll be donating my money that I would have spent on wine and beer weekly and also of any lapses and forfeits.   If any of you wish to join me and do the same that would be great.  Or even make a general donation.  I intend to generally get fit again following my foot op and hope to do a charity walk later on and lose half a stone.  You will all be also welcome to join me in a coffee fundraising morning to be arranged later. I will keep you updated on the fundraising activities on this page. Also if I fall off the wagon at any time and my punishment forfeit charges.
