Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer.

Story

March is 'Prostate Cancer Awareness Month'. As a survivor of this killer disease, I wanted to give something back to assist in the continuing research to help the thousands of men who are not - and will not - be as fortunate as me.

I am doing my own personal "March for Men".

On the 1st March, I will walk the 700km (420 mile) Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage hike from Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain, to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK. The hike should take me roughly a month, and it's a not-so-fun fact to say that in that month, nearly a thousand men in the UK will have died as a result of this terrible disease.

This walk is completely self-funded. All monies raised go straight to Prostate Cancer UK. No hotel bills, no cerveza, no tapas will be paid for by your donation. Your contribution, whether you donate a lot or a little, will make an impact; anything really does help. Thank you for your support. I've included information about Prostate Cancer UK below. 

Why am I doing this? To help more men survive prostate cancer and have some quality of life.
