Jim Carley and George Carley will be running the Manchester Marathon on 5^th April in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. Around 40,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, and around 12,000 men die annually from the disease. We’ve chosen this charity as Anne Carley’s uncle, Eddie Perrins, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. As this is also the first time (and maybe the last time) we run a marathon together as father and son, it seemed apt to support a charity for men. 

Jim already has three London Marathons under his belt (‘93, ‘95 and ‘16). In contrast, this will be George’s first full marathon but, at only 18, he will have already chalked up four half marathons ahead of the big race. He is also much fitter than his dad, and a safe bet to finish first. We hope that you may please be able to support our fundraising effort and sponsor us. Any amount would be very welcome.
