My personal message:

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I am taking part in a sponsored zip slide event at Ashton Gate stadium on Saturday 12 July 2008.

I will be strapped into a harness (diggity!) suspended below a wire rope and travel at speeds of up to 30mph between the Williams and Dolman stands.

I am raising money for the Bristol Urological Institute - Prostate Cancer Care & Research Centre. (Incidentally this is where I work, so I'll ensure your money is spent wisely.)

Prostate cancer affects 30,000 men each year in the UK and causes 14,000 deaths. The same death rate as breast cancer in women. Whereas women are aware of the risks and regularly check their breasts for any untoward symptoms and go for regular mammograms, many men are unaware that there is a diagnostic test available which they can ask for if they are concerned.
