Square in Caldas de reis
a tale of two feet…..Claire’s!
Over 14 days in September, I walked 212 miles (342 kms) and took 468,930 (often painful) steps.
My fundraising adventure walking the Portuguese coastal route from Porto to Santiago de Compostela was an experience and a privilege....and my feet may never recover!
I left Porto and walked along sandy beaches and boardwalks through beach resorts, fishing villages and deserted natural conservation areas. For the first few days I literally walked in the sea. It was glorious and the sun shone down.
A fantastic system of boardwalks, often elevated above conservation areas of wild grasses and marshland, has been developed along the coastline. Many hundreds of people are walking this route at any one time, I could often see people in the distance and behind me. Follow the rest of Claire’s walk…

Fully funded counselling available
Prostate cancer - free counselling
When people talk about prostate cancer, the focus is often on medical treatment: appointments, test results, medications, and procedures. Which are, of course, incredibly important.
But there is another part of the experience that can sometimes receive less attention: the impact that prostate cancer can have on relationships. Many men find themselves facing questions they never expected to ask. Changes in health, energy levels, intimacy, communication, confidence, and future plans can place strain on even the strongest relationships.
We’ve a limited number of fully funded counselling appointments for couples and individuals available for men diagnosed with prostate cancer. We provide a safe and confidential space where you can talk openly, understand one another more fully, and develop ways of navigating these challenges together. It isn’t about assigning blame or suggesting that a relationship is failing. Rather, it’s about strengthening communication, building understanding, and helping people face difficult circumstances as a team. For more information and to register, email Rebecca. Appointments are completely free, fully funded by a small Prostate Cancer grant.
