Participants: Ken Courts
Jeff Stelling's March for Men, 2-16 June 2017
Campaign by PROSTATE CANCER UK (RCN 1005541 and in Scotland (SC039332))
In June 2017, with over 600 supporters, we marced from Exeter to Newcastle, St James Park to St James’ Park to help stop prostate cancer being a killer. 15 marathons in 15 days. 400 miles. 40 clubs.

Story

Ken was diagnosed in 2011 with prostate cancer a few weeks before our wedding following a routine blood test where he also suggested to the GP that he was going to the toilet a bit more often than he thought was normal.  He had brachytherapy in 2012 and will be five years post treatment in April. He used the prostate cancer UK website to read about his options and be fully informed about what each treatment could result in. I also phoned the helpline after a particularly bad review appointment with a locum consultant who showed little empathy or understanding in the message he delivered when Ken's PSA had started to rise a little and I wanted advice and support on what that potentially might mean. The nurse at the end of the phone was informative, patient and wonderful. We have decided that we would like to do more for Prostate Cancer UK other than just donating money for Movember or at Christmas and this walk seems an ideal opportunity.
