January 2025 Update

You maybe aware that our plan to cease walking and fund raising in September 2024 failed.

See below the walks arranged so far 2025.

As long as people are prepared to walk, raise awareness and funds for our fight against Prostate Cancer, Pat and I will keep walking.

2025 has Counties arranging 2nd and 3rd walks and we are indebted to them.

We really hope that the 5 Counties who have not arranged a walk will be able to in 2025.

It does not matter how few or many walk and how much money you raise, it is making people aware which is the most important thing to us.

We are humbled and honoured to have been asked to play a match against The Vatican Cricket Team in Rome on 1st November 2025 as they help to promote awareness of Prostate Cancer. (we are indebted to Father Eamonn O’Higgins and Paul Bradley for making this possible)

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss arranging a walk.

Buckinghamshire CCC are looking to walk in Malta, during the Over 60s Tournament there, at the end of March, early April. Counties taking part in the Tournament will be invited to join us.

We are hoping to arrange another walk at The Eric Morecambe Centre in Harpenden, Hertfordshire late in September.

On the 1^st November we shall be in Rome to play The Vatican Cricket Team, at their invitation, to support our Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign.

We hope to be playing two other matches while in Rome.

(An honour and a privilege)

We are hoping that Counties who have not arranged a walk, so far, will be able to in 2025, so by the end of the year all Counties will have supported this amazing campaign.

The total raised now stands at £55000 plus £7000 Gift Aid. We estimate nearly 1000 people have joined a walk.
