The need to raise money for research into the causes of and cures for prostate cancer was brought home to me when my father-in-law died from this invidious disease.

As most of you know Ihave assisted in oirganising charity golf days but this year it was suggested that we take part in the LondonMarathon to raise more.

At first the idea seemed pre-posterous.How could I at nearly 52 consider doing a 26 mile marathon-a mile for every 2 years of my life!-in one day.

However,over time the idea took hold,so I took the plunge and have now entered the London Marathon.I  know it will not be easy and I am feeling very nervous but yet excited as I have started the necessary fitness preparation.Already it has taken over my life but I am determined to complete the Marathon for such a worthy cause.
