To highlight the more than 10,000 men in the UK who die
of Prostate Cancer the charity continue to offer the 10,000 challenge. It has
been going for a while.you just come up with any challenge which has a target
of 10000. So collect 10,000 pennies or pounds, take 10,000 steps, run 10,000
metres. One of the more creative ideas came from Angela Sharpe who decided to
take 10,000 photos in 100 days in memory of her father, Michael Jolly, who died
of the disease. She put on an exhibition
as well as creating an online gallery of the photos, it includes a number of
people affected by Prostate Cancer. http://www.angelasharpephotography.co.uk/
Prostate Cancer UK would like you to use the challenge as
a fund raiser. Now as you know, the Clean up Prostate Cancer project is not
about gathering donations but raising awareness. Still I liked the 10000 Challenge
idea. So mine is about collecting rubbish
along 10,000 recorded yards of road. While I do not collect donations through
the site you can always go to Men United.com and make one directly. An interesting alternative would be to find
others taking up the 10,000 Challenge on justgiving.com, virginmoney.com or any
of the reputable donation sites.
How’s it going? With today’s collection to finish off
Whiteley’s Lane, Lathom I’m well over half way to my goal – 5632 yards
completed with an incredible 14 bags of rubbish collected in 6 separate
sessions. I’m not including all the collecting I’m doing because sometimes
actually doing a measurement can be complicated. Here's a selection of the rubbish which has gone into my Challenge bags.
