A retired radiologist who set out to put his best foot forward for charity has succeeded in raising £1,615 for prostate cancer.
Dr Ian Brett covered 250 miles on his “March the Month” challenge after he originally planned to walk 11,000 poignant steps each day to mark the number of men who die each year from the disease
However, overall, he walked 532,000 steps and covered 250 miles from his Diggle home on his 31-day challenge.
And the proceeds of his efforts go directly to Prostate Cancer UK, which aims at raising funds for further research into the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
