Raising money for

The Prostate Cancer Charity

In the UK: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. 35,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. One man dies every hour of prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Charity is the UK’s leading charity working with people affected by prostate cancer.

We provide the only UK-wide prostate cancer Helpline staffed by prostate cancer specialist nurses. Our nurses offer free and confidential information and support to anyone affected by prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Charity is working towards a world where lives are no longer limited by prostate cancer. The Charity is fighting prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.

My story

Well… I did it!

Not quite the graceful and elegant run that I pictured, but I finished the 26.2 miles yesterday with (something like) a smile on my face.

For anyone reading this thinking that they may give it a go, I can’t recommend it enough. The crowds were fantastic and there were some truly inspiring fellow runners.

If you’ve reached here from one of my begging emails, it’s not too late to donate to The Prostate Cancer Charity through this page. It is an extremely worthwhile cause and they greatly appreciate any funds that they can raise.

London Marathon 2007 is all over now, but I think I may give it a go injury free another year to see what happens.

Many thanks

Sam
