10th of April !

Thursday 11th Apr 2024

so, as well as going on the DGR this year, I'm doing the "100 a day" thing (100 press ups a day)

Oddly enough for an auld fart I'm doing them as 4 x 25 sets.

Today being the 10th of the month and due to a sneaky extra one this morning, that is 1001 press ups done so far :-)

The exercise has transformed me from a pudgy, weak auld fart into a knackered, pudgy auld fart . . 

I'm very grateful to you for your donation, if you have yet to do so, please consider donating.

2nd year doing this, Had a hoot last year.
Shirlaws were absolutely brilliant. welcoming and not at all in yer face trying to flog anything.
A good number of participants went the whole hog and dressed for the occasion, the onsite barber was a great touch.
Aiming to raise a bit of cash for mens causes, I understand that "Donation fatigue" has mre than set in with all of us, so I'm just going to make it worse :-)
I'd appreciate £10 of your finest greenbacks towards efforts I'm putting in.
First thing is the ""100 press ups a day for April" saw that from some of the cancer charidee's and thought "jeezo, that is a _lot_" so I'll start with 4 x 25 rep sets and see how the month goes.
So your £10 donation will encourage much sweting and cursing from me all through April and culminate in a day out on the bike (in the rain, probably)

You can encourage a geriatric auld fart to get a bit fitter and give money to good causes through the DGR.

I'm Riding for Men's Health in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride

Tuesday 26th Mar 2024 On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, I'm riding in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before I press my tweed and polish my boots, I'm asking you to join me in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthier lives.
