Thanks to the excellent care I have had
from the NHS I still have no symptoms and am feeling pretty good. I went, for a
second opinion to Professor Roger Kirby at The Prostate Centre in , one of the
foremost experts in the field. He is the President of Prostate UK and
introduced me to the charity. I would now like to make an effort to raise some
money to help the Charity with the excellent work it does to raise awareness of
the disease, to research into the causes of, and treatments for prostate
cancer, and to provide support and information to anyone concerned.
One piece of advice I received from the
team treating me at Eastbourne DGH was that I should take plenty of weight
bearing exercise---which was good news to me as I have always loved that kind
of thing. As a result I have kept up my walking and jogging and done all kinds
of strange sports. I have finished the Beachy Head Marathon (formerly called
the Seven Sisters Marathon) 25 times. Many friends and relations have
accompanied me over the years over the
in all kinds of weathers.
This year I want to invite you to help me raise a good sum for Prostate UK , either by sponsoring me or, better still by joining David Mills and me and our families in walking (with a very little jogging down hill if you feel like it) all or part of the course and obtaining your own sponsorship.
So on Saturday 24 October at 9am, why not get out of that armchair, come
out of retirement and join the group and do as much of the
as you are capable of. If you can't do that please support me by sponsoring me
through Just Giving.
