September charity campaign

Brace yourselves - I'm off on a September charity challenge

Cancer charities Cancer Research UK and Prostate Cancer UK are both running separate campaigns namely and respectively Run 60 Miles Challenge and 11,000 Steps A Day

So I ummed and aahed and aahed and ummed about which one to do and being caught in two minds, I'm doing both, or at least a hybrid version of both in that by running two miles a day, I'll be a fair chunk into the daily 11,000 steps

The relevance of the 11,000 is that over 11,000 men die each year from prostate cancer

Obviously looking to raise a bit of money for these causes but because I'm doing that hybrid version I'm not going the usual Just Giving route. Instead you can donate directly to either of these charities and let me know or come into the shop and hand over some cash or donate by card for me to collect and pass on at the end of September

And as part of that fund-raising, again via the shop, we are going to donate 10% of our gross profit in September to these campaigns, all money raised being split equally between them

Let's hope this old creaking body is up to the challenge
