Gorgeous afternoon so I couldn’t help getting out there
to make a whole weekend of it. Total collected over 1.5 miles of Long Lane in
Bickerstaffe is 7 bags. Have had plenty of support, particularly from passing
cyclists with several calling out best wishes. I only hope they took note of
the message – be aware of your prostate.
Lesley, whose family farm that area, pulled over and very
generously made a donation which will be passed on to Prostate Cancer UK. She is
well aware of the issue of litter along that road. Apparently, her mother in
law regularly used to go out and pick up a bag of rubbish and Lesley wanted to
express her appreciation of the collection. She also took a Know your Prostate
leaflet to pass on to her husband. Lovely lady it was nice to meet her.
I’m a bit disappointed no one so far has made an
offer for the bag of potatoes I was given last week. Maybe 25kg was too many for most households these days. Offers will still be
accepted until midnight tonight but assuming I do not receive any I’ve been
thinking about how to put John’s gift to the best use. Among the ideas are to
donate them to a local lunch club. This appeals because many of the
beneficiaries will be older and as we know incidence of Prostate Cancer
increases with age. However, no decision has been made and I would really welcome any suggestions you may
have.
