Begging post.

Post by Zonda_ »

So I've signed up to cycle 100 miles in August to raise money for Prostate cancer. I lost my Dad to it a few years ago so I always try to give to them. I know 100 miles is not much to a few of you but with the angle grinder damage it's a lot to me!

Please give what you can, even if it's a quid.

Done. I expect a daily, handwritten update on high quality paper and beautifully calligraphied in epic poem format.

I get the point of trying to negotiate, but I think you're starting way too low.

Cheers, I'm hoping it will get me started and keep doing it as working from home isn't doing my waistline any favours!

Done. BIL had a close shave (enlarged prostate pun) with it, thankfully clear, but still, well worth asking for a PSA or requesting a cheeky finger if you're over 50.

Thank you, I started today, managed 7.2 miles, not bad for the first time on a bike in 10 years.

Well despite going away for a week I'm progressing nicely in the miles and fundraising. Hand is suffering a bit, saw my consultant yesterday who now wants to look at replacing my thumb joint with a titanium one, thought it best not to mention the cycling...£80 shy of my target so it you know anyone you can share my page with I'd be grateful.
