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 fund research, provide support and information, and we campaign to improve the lives of men with 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

Jane and Kevin ran the London Marathon to raise money and awareness about Prostate Cancer. Jane's father, Chris Williams, died in June 2005 of Prostate Cancer. He was a fit healthy man who never smoked or drank throughout his life. Chris raced motorbikes from his teens until just a few years before he died. He is pictured here in one of his favourite places on earth, the Isle of Man. He was an inspiration to many.

The London Marathon is hard for anyone but Jane has the additional challenge of battling against a congenital muscle disorder which has resulted in 10 operations at various times, inlcuding 3 on her hips and 1 on her spine. She had not run a single step until August last year!

Kevin is a rugby playing forward of the old school, meaning he is larger than the average runner weighing in at 17 stone

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us and to all those who were there to help us around on the day. We have raised over £3000 which is fantastic and we completed the course in six hours. We managed to meet up at 3 miles from our respective starts and ran the rest of the race together.

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
