My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Testicular cancer

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. In 2024, 6,793 men in Wales died before reaching their 75th birthday, representing more than one in three male deaths. That is too many. Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

This rubbish weather is making it hard to get out and about. Most of my km covered has been indoors on the Wattbike in the garage which is helping my health, but not getting me out in the fresh air.

We do have the Movember CC weekly ride every Wednesday at 1830 GMT on Zwift though that everyone is welcome to come and join.

After some days dealing with things that put me behind schedule I have caught up again today. The weather has not been on my side though, so grateful for the Wattbike and Zwift!

Another Movembercc ride on Zwift last night went successfully with over 60 people taking part

Day 4 and my Movember moving has me ahead of target so far. I am feeling the exercise already (probably because I didn't train) but it is good to get moving in whatever way I can

Yesterday I completed my goal for Mo'ving 300km in November, a whole week early. Appropriately it was completed during the Movember CC weekly ride on Zwift, but the total was done with a combination of commuting to work, indoor cycling and walking the dog. This shows that a little and often adds up, getting some fresh air and exercise can help with your physical and mental health, by yourself or with mates. You don't have to be an athlete, just get out and do something.

Come and enjoy a ride on Zwift with the Movember CC on a Wednesday evening at 18:30 GMT. We take a gentle pace, have a chat and try to have fun to relieve some stress in the middle of the week

Hi Ben,

Hope you're keeping well.

I wanted to reach out personally to say thank you for the amazing amount you have raised so far –you’re a Mo Legend and you’ve made it into our exclusive Platinum Club!

Thanks to you, more men can live healthier, happier and longer lives. To read about some of the projects you have helped to fund go to movember.com/impact

Look out for Platinum Club rewards coming your way and, in the meantime, I hope you have a great rest of the month.

Mo wishes
Katy

currently halfway up Ventop in a little group ride chatting about random stuff, approaching the 10000m mark.

Tomorrow is the last day of Movember and it has been a momentus one (see what I did there?).

I am hoping to finish with a ride on Zwift up to the top Ventop of 1500m and end on a high (see what I did there again?) and complete 10000km of climbing in the month. Hopefully I will feel OK to do that tomorrow as I had my Covid booster yesterday and am feeling a bit sore from it, but it is far, far better to stay safe and healthy.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Movember and me, and thank you to everyone who is looking after themselves and checking up on their mates. Stay safe, ride up!

This evening I made it to the summit of my Movember Everest challenge. I am on top of the world to have made it and have another challenge to see if I can make before the end of the month (watch this space).

I hope I have inspired people to think about men's health, look out for each other. Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of my cancer diagnosis and I am grateful that I found the lump in my balls when I did as it was an easy fix and I am still here to spend time with my friends and family.

Ride on everyone, stay safe, look after yourself and each other.

Great ride with Malcy and Julie around Watopia Hilly route. We had some banter about ride food, agreeing on bacon and egg rolls. Our KOM times got slower which I think was because of chat and not because we were tired.

Today shows how a bike ride can be a nice way to meet people, talk about things you didn't think you would and get some exercise in at the same time. I'm looking forward to the next one but have a feeling there will be more hills.
