March the Month 18,187 steps - Day 25

I split my walk into 2 again today, I had a telephone call with my GP about my leg, I then had to go to the pharmacy to get antibiotics. I also took part in a Macmillan Coffee Morning, hosted by my MP. As a result I finished work rather later, and had a parcel scheduled for delivery between 4 and 8. I got back from the first part of the walk to find that the parcel had been delivered early and left with a neighbour (though they didn't say which one!). So having collected my parcel, I headed straight out again for part 2. It was windy (forecast of 50mph+ winds).

All pictures this month are being taken within the borough boundaries of Luton, I am aiming to not include anything man-made in the images (my definition being something that has been through a manufacturing process) to give a different view of the town. Although distant hills not in the borough may appear, the main subject will always be within the borough.

Today's walks were 15,360 steps, 7.3 m with a climb of 2,322ft, and a total so far of 18,187 steps.

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.
