Walked 112k of the Camino Frances for PCa awareness month

[dockam]

Hey gang,

It was a sometimes grueling, always beautiful 112km(69.65 mile) hike from Sarria to Santiago de Compestela in Spain. My son, his wife and a friend of theirs hiked with full backpacks from Albergue to Albergue(hotels). Drinking beers, wine, snacking on local foods. Tho my son and I had some stomach bug at one point and had to taxi to hotel. But, we were all still certified, one must get 2 stamps /day and do at least 100km to receive the coveted Compestela.

I placed Blue Ribbons on signs on The Way for Sept PCa awareness and had a back Sign en Español about PCa and getting checked.

Made quite a few friends thru it, told me saga, asked them to get screened if over 50.

If you go to #chinononcamino or #caminofrances on Instagram, you'll see a ton of food porn, wondrous scenery, and a really chill kinda life.

Been off/on Wi-Fi, so haven't read HU forum much. I hope y'all are doing well and always Fight on ✌️

Randy

Another impressive performance in the service of raising awareness! Great job!

How do you make your back signs? I'm thinking of putting something on my back for my half marathon. Any suggestions on what to say?

Thanks for showing us all how to fight!

I print them up and place in a plastic paper protector and pin to my back. I used to just have my story, but now have added men who were taken. Like Cericwin, Nameless, and a few others from the forum😭

I say like men over 50 get checked and Fight on.

You may check my FB posts for previous pix.

Best to you with the half!

Mahalo, running/hiking has been my thing. Maybe that's why I'm still here. This was just published :
