The Prostate Cancer Charity

Charity Registration No. 1005541 and in Scotland (SC039332)

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

Thank you for pledging your support for our upcoming race across the Indian Ocean. All donations, no matter how small will help turn this dream of ours in to a reality. Your support will go first and foremost towards covering all costs associated with putting this challenge together, and all surplus monies raised will go straight to prostate cancer.

If you would like to make a non specific donation please click on the 'sponsor us now' link and follow the simple instructions. If however you are interested in having a physical presence on the boat please read on...

1) Donate £100 or more and put your photo on the boat. Just think, you can say you crossed the Indian without having to lift an oar! We will contact you to get a photo.

2) Donate £200 or more and have your message in the cabin. Play your part in helping us get through those dark moments by purchasing a message inside the cabin. Please include your requested message in the comments section when making the donation - please limit to 15 words.

3) Sponsor a piece of the boat. Just like a wedding list only we actually need everything on this list! All those who purchase an item from the list below will be sent a photo of it in action on the high seas. Please list the item you would like to 'donate' in the comments section (we have restricted the list to include only the most important items - this list will be updated on a regular basis).
