A HARLOW man is set to undertake a charity walk for Kidney Cancer UK.

Alan Hardy will be walking from The Moorhen pub and following the river towpaths down the Stort, the River Lea and through the Olympic Park.

He sets off on Saturday morning with a number of friends.

Alan said: “I’m a recent kidney cancer survivor after a 10cm tumour was discovered on my left kidney via a CT scan in December 2022 when aged 55.

“I’d also only just joined a new employer in October of that year in a ‘work from home’ role, so I was still on work probation at the time.

The CT scan was initiated 2 weeks previously after being referred by my GP to our local Hospital’s Urology Department for a flexible cystoscopy procedure, which revealed nothing. In the preceding weeks I’d noticed an occurrence of blood in my pee which led to me arranging a GP appointment”.
