My story

Hi there.

Firstly, thank you for visiting my site. I hope you have come to dig deep for a charlty very close to my heart and in desperate need of your support.

Call me crazy, but I have decided to run 26 miles in this year's London Marathon and I am so proud to be able to run for the Prostate Cancer Charity.

Prostate cancer is the second biggest killer in men after lung cancer. 35,000 cases are diagnosed in the UK alone, with a rising figure of 10,000 deaths a year.

The Charity plays a vital part in raising the awareness of the this cancer and it needs the same support, recognition and funding that has been achieved in breast cancer for women.

My dad was diagnosed at the age of just 56 and has been having on going treatment for the past 2 years. With feeling completely helpless to get him better, this is my way of doing my little bit to hopefully make a difference.

Thank you so much for your support and donation. Wish me luck!!!!!
