Target: £500
raised £3,757 since 2014
My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

As I head towards my 11th attempt (wow!) at a Moustache, a reminder that this is a special Moustache nonetheless. This is a Movember Moustache!

It's a known fact that Men DON'T speak about the 'touchy feely' subjects enough, let alone go see their Doctor/GP;
Movember's purpose is to encourage ALL men to discuss Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Mental Health issues & Suicide Prevention.

To help guys chat and check ourselves out, I'm growing a Moustache for the duration of Movember, with the hope that it generates plenty of communication as well as raising loads of cash for the Movember Foundation.

The Foundation aims to further research and education on the 2 Male Cancer killers as well as getting boys & men to be mentally healthy and take action to remain well.

FINAL 13 Miles!
On a decidedly chilly Saturday morning, I readied for the route of the Edinburgh Kiltwalk's 1st 13 Miles.
Heading out from the iconic Murrayfield Stadium towards a frosty Silverknowes, from there towards Trinity Path and onward along the Water of Leith to the Shore.
After a short refreshment break, it was onwards to the finishing point at a breezy Portobello Promenade!

387 Week(s) Ago
I walked 15 mi04:30:00

Enjoyed the cold but sunny weather to walk from Sighthill to Park Bistro nr Linlithgow along the route of the Union Canal!

388 Week(s) Ago
I walked 11 mi03:15:00

With the light bright & pavements damp from morning showers, I headed for my West to East walk!
Heading off for the autumnal loiks of Holland Park, I proceeded to Little Venice and the Regent's Canal Towpath and the changing views along the route all the way to the Islington Tunnel.
From here, it was a case of taking the back roads thru Russell Square, Mayfair & Hyde Park.
A little slip after the start began to cause me a Hip problem, so I succumbed to the Tube after 11 miles.
I'm hoping to be back to normal for this Saturday as I plan to complete 13-miles of the Water Of Leith Walkway, watch this space for details!

389 Week(s) Ago
I walked 13 mi03:30:00

I started from home on a crisp Sunday morning heading for Roseburn to join the Path to Craigleith, then onto the Blackhall Path towards Silverknowes.
Sun was out for the stretch from the Promenade to Granton, then onto the Trinity Path, Ferry Road Path & again on the Roseburn Path towards Murrayfield.
Took the opportunity to take the recently re-opened Roseburn Park path then onto the Water of Leith Walkway home.
All in all, an enjoyable 1st of 4 MO Weekend Walks for Movember!

Note: As donations can be made privately, not all donations are displayed to the public.
