Target: £150
raised £550 since 2014
My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Prostate cancer

Due to popular demand I'm not planning to grow a moustache this year. Instead I'm taking my bare upper lip, protected only by a face mask, for a 150 kilometres of walks through the mean streets of Havering in memory of my father-in-law.

In June 2014 I was told I had prostate cancer. The diagnosis was later proven to be wrong, but not before I'd learned a little about the cascade of emotions such news causes. A year later my father-in-law lost his long fight with prostate cancer and I saw at first hand what this disease can do to a fit, strong man. I don't want others to suffer the same way if it can be avoided.

How I'm
getting involved
0 of 150 kilometres
walking
I'm moving 60km this Movember for the 60 men we lose each hour of every day.

After a month of feeding and caring for my moustache the ungrateful wretch has escaped and was last seen hot-footing it across the local park. A small reward is offered for its safe return.

A month of daily applications of Miracle-Gro is finally over and the result is... underwhelming. Rather whiter than last year, and rather more straggly. Though there is something of the bedraggled walrus about it.

Unfortunately the walking challenge didn't quite go to plan when my left knee attempted a rapid unscheduled disassembly and then swelled up to twice the size of the right. Resting it up and taking a break from daily walks helped, but at the expense of a week of disrupted sleep thanks to calf muscle cramps due to the lack of exercise. Thankfully, today, the last day of the challenge, I was able to get back to a 5 km hobble.

Here's the latest image of the horrific growth on my top lip - you can see why my wife complains of pogonophobia.

But it is worst than that - I've been struck by the Curse of the Exploding Knee Cap!

I've been having a few warning twinges from my left knee for a few weeks now and today this transmogrified into continuous pain - of course at exactly the point when I was furthest from home. Eight hours later and I have a very swollen leg. Damn annoying, since I've only been doing fractionally more mileage than normal. Do I get extra donations if I hop the remaining 42 km?

Striking out across the smoke-strewn badlands of Romford on my first Movember walk I chanced upon the source of the conflagration. Hopefully not all my walks will end as dramatically as this.

By the way, walking distance is being measured using GPS - my Fitbit is great for counting steps but isn't accurate for distance.
