My story

 

Dear Friends,


As you can tell, from knowing me or just looking at me, I am built for comfort not speed. Until recently, the farthest I had ever run is 1.8 miles, and I had to stop half way.


So, for some unknown reason (who am I kidding - weight loss) in May I decided to challenge myself to run a half marathon along with a bunch of faster, fitter, younger ASOS people.


Now, the problem I have is that I'm 3 months into training and I haven't lost any weight, so I need a new purpose to get me through the next month.


You are my purpose.


Please sponsor me to get me over the finish line by donating a small sum to Prostate UK. My dad's life was saved last year, helped by early detection, but the lives of many aren't.


James

Here is some more info on Prostate UK:

Our mission: Fighting all prostate diseases

One in two men will suffer from a prostate disease at some stage in their lives. We seek to limit the damage this causes by raising awareness, providing information and financing both medical research and the training of healthcare professionals.

Prostate cancer kills one man every hour in Britain. More research is urgently needed to refine screening and to develop more effective treatments. In March 2006, Prostate UK awarded almost half a million pounds to research grants - this is an unprecedented increase of 33 percent from 2005 and only made possible by the support of people like you.

Education of the public and of healthcare professionals is vital for prostate problems to be caught and treated early. The charity funds free training seminars which are attended by around 500 GPs and nurses each year, giving them the latest information in this rapidly changing field. New brochures have also been produced on all of the diseases, including BPH and Prostatitis, and the demand for these has grown dramatically; the charity is also about to produce its first brochures in minority languages.
