The long walk begins

Having avoided any kind of blogging in the past I’ve been assured by my colleague Stuart that keeping a record of my training for Breast Cancer Campaign’s Step on it Challenge will do my mental health the world of good. I’m not convinced, but I’ll give it a go.

Today marks the end of week two of a twelve week marathon walking plan (yes, such things do exist) in preparation for my uber-walk on 19th July - 46,000 continuous steps, one for each of the people diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK this year. This equates to at least 22 miles.

It’s been an eye-opening week. I’ve been up at 6am marching around the eerily quiet streets of East Croydon; I’ve discovered Addiscome has a crazy golf course and was completely blown away by The Specials at Brixton Academy last night.

I promise I’ll come up with something more exciting than this over the next ten weeks. I’m bound to be chased by a feral dog and/or child at some point.

Anyway, now for the big ask. Anyone who’d like to help me along with this endeavour can do so here.
