Three is a magic number

Skelmersdale Rd, Bickerstaffe just keeps on giving both good and bag. 3 more sacks of rubbish, that is a total of 7 in just 0.6 of a mile. That’s more or less 1000yds or one bag every 173yds. A bit geeky but it does illustrate how much rubbish can accumulate on a country road where collections are rarely made. In the UK that is.

On a brighter note I did give out 3 Know your Prostate leaflets, one went to Charlie, out cycling to strengthen muscles after a cartiledge op. The others were given to 2 ladies walking the dogs. Both had had their own brush with cancer, brest cancer that is, they were pleased to take leaflets to pass on to their husbands. Strangely both they and Charlie mentioned samples given to be tested for bowel cancer recently but nothing about PSAs.

Clean up Prostate Cancer is on countdown for a couple of milestones which continue the theme of 3s. 3 more bags of litter to reach a total of 50 and 3 more leaflets to distribute and I’ll have hit 50 of those too. Not bad going in 4 months.


Hope all is well with everyone. My best wishes to those who are facing a diagnosis of Prostate Cancer. It can be overwhelming, please do ask for help in finding your way forward. Wherever you are there is a support network whether it is within the medical system or within your community. It can help to share your thoughts and experiences with others facing the challenge.
