My Story
Jeremy Browne was my best friend for some 59 years. We grew up together, so he was the nearest I had to a brother. Sadly, he died of Cancer last October. This is a terrible way to go, so I'd like to do a little thing that might help stop this happening to others. During the week of my 73rd birthday ( 2 - 8 October) I plan to walk 73 laps round a familiar loop of paths in Queens Park Glasgow, I understand each lap is about 1.4 miles with about 200 feet of ascent. So the whole walk would be about 100 miles, including over 14,000 feet ascent. I, like Jeremy, am totally blind so would complete this unassisted, using my long cane. Jeremy and I were both radio hams and the number 73 means "Best Wishes". So, I'm calling this walk "Jeremy Browne - 73 Cubed - £389017 for Cancer Research". That's 73 year old person, doing 73 laps wishing all 73's for a Cancer free future.
