A bumper serving of fresh, crisp Planc de Planc every morning!

We've got to be wise, kind, and strong enough to defeat cancer. All cancer, including the little-known, uncool ones. We are humans -- we MUST be able to rise to it. Come on, we can (have to) do this!

My Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. I'm 79, and in my long life I've known and loved too many people who've been taken by cancer. We absolutely have got to beat this monster -- we cannot let this massacre go on. To raise funds for research into eradicating this cruel disease, I'm going to hold the Plank position for a few moments longer every morning. I'll start at one minute, and increase my time by a few seconds daily. I'm hoping to get to over 5 minutes of continuous hold by the end of the month. Never tried anything like this before, so I'm intrigued to see if my venerable body can do it ... Not as easy as it looks, I suspect. I'll post each day's timings here, along with whatever content rocks up in my head meanwhile -- might be poetry, a recipe, a painting, music, who knows? (I might even sing something, but maybe that would be going too far.) Sometimes you'll even get to witness my live struggle to outlast the timer -- maybe this will inspire a warm, philanthropic feeling inside you. We do need money for this stuff, you understand... I'm hoping to raise at least £150. If we hit that target before the end of the month, I'll try and extend the time I can hold the Plank, possibly a minute or two longer, and see if we can't drum up some more donations during the time we've got left. A 5-minute Charity Plank by a soon-to-be octogenarian reciting poetry? Could be a thing -- might even go global, who knows? It kind of depends on you, doesn't it? We all do, actually. Are you up for this? Will you support me? It's rather important for all of us, it you think about it. Anyone of us can get cancer -- half of us will. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. There’s no time to lose! Please donate to my page today, be part of our campaign, and help bring forward the world-beating moment when all cancers are cured!
