It was a very hot 🥵 day. Good thing I went towards the south and fantastic choice. After that was walking 🚶 home when I bumped into my cousins Natalia’s, grandson Tomás. Walked over to the North side to watch him taking his surf 🏄♂️ lesson.
Very hot but walked by the shade. Rode a bike for max 2kms. The rest was done by walking. 🚶 Thank you 🙏 for all who are supporting me during this challeng.
Today was a difficult day. Very hazy this morning due to the smoke in the air due to 🔥 fire surrounding the area where I’m from in Portugal. Also Strava didn’t calculate all of the walking did. Got to 5 kms according to Apple Fitness. Didn’t complete as much as I wanted.
Hoping tomorrow I’ll feel stronger to continue.
Still not sure if everyone can see my updates. I hope so. It was a slow first day. Yet I’m proud of what I accomplished. As I begin this challenge in Portugal 🇵🇹 and I’d like to end it before returning Canada 🇨🇦. I’ll definitely try my very best but if I can’t I’ll continue in Canada 🍁
It had been a crazy month this July. Many changes in my life and my move back to my condo after a fire 🔥 on the 13th June of 2024.
But back to what’s important. I’m training slowly on a kind of bicycle (more like a tricycle)
which I know I won’t tip over. I don’t think I can cycle 100 kms but it could happen with will power and enthusiasm my little cousin of 7 years, just told me “Prima you have yo just look straight you won’t fall” the cutest voice. I couldn’t deny the cause to end because I’m unable to cycle. I will complete the walking of 100 kms or I’m hoping for more kms thank you all who have donated so I can participate on this GCC 2025!
I have decided to give it a go just to see if I still have pain while cycling on my broken vertebrae, which will not ever correct itself. Picked a terrible day to cycle as it was way too hot. Plus the pain to complete the 10 km, I am paying for it today...
At this moment, I am preparing to start this challenge by walking much more...trying to run...and hopefully maybe as my Dr. told me today...By next year, I may be able to CYCLE...Hopefully so...as I will continue with this funding for this awful disease...
I’m basically doing everything in my power to get fitter for this WALK.
Just today I have a good friend who lost her 3 year old little girl to this disease. I urge you to help in any way. Doesn’t have to be by sponsoring me. Of course it all helps. But feel free to donate or not. A word of encouragement truly is needed especially with so many children who suffer so much to this disease 🦠
Thank you for reading this.
I understand that things are difficult all over the world right now, and many are asking for donations. If you’re unable to contribute, I completely understand, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to look at this page. However, if it’s possible for you at all, I would be grateful for any donation to help me continue with this challenge in support of childhood cancer research. Your support means so much.
