Fundraising for PROSTATE CANCER UK
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
For the past couple of years I have supported various charities when running/cycling and normally I tend to select the nominated charity of the event such as Action Medical research, Devonshire Air Ambulance etc. However earlier this year my uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer which was a great concern to me and the family. Fortunately it had been caught early enough to do something about and soon after diagnosis he was able to have the tumour removed. His recovery is coming along nicely. I hope to raise money for Prostate cancer for people like my uncle and those not as fortunate to catch it early. As well as raising the sponsorship funding I aim to raise general awareness of prostate cancer and mens health issues in general and the importance of getting regular health checks. This November for the first time I'm taking part in Movember to start raising the awareness with friends, colleagues and team mates. The other motivation is more of a person life ambition of wanting to run the marathon and get a coveted finishers medal.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now. ;)
