Terry Bolland,  an adventure-seeking Kayaker, who has paddled tens of thousands of kilometres over the years recently battled prostate cancer.

In hopes to raise money and awareness, this local legend embarked on a fundraising campaign to paddle 7,000kms at the age of 70. 

Mr Bolland told Jo McManus on 6PR Afternoons that he has now surpassed that target and is beyond 14,000km’s in a year. 

"My last birthday I decided I wanted to paddle 7,000km in my birthday year and within 7 months I'd paddled 7,000km so I decided to keep going - and I managed to get to 14,000km in one year," Mr Bolland said.
