My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. It is now over two years since I was successfully treated for prostate cancer.

Well, we really did climb Mount Snowdon on 16 May to raise funds for Prostate Cancer Research. We were part of the Snowdon 500. The weather was foul; the wind was gusting to 70mph/120kph; the rain was horizontal at times; the hail stung our faces. However, we set off early up the Miner’s Track, reached the summit after two and a half hours and came back down the Pyg Track.

With your help we have raised over £3,325, which is a magnificent result. Thank you very much.

So please sponsor us now!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Prostate Cancer Research Centre gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
