Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you probably already know, prostate cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer amongst men. In my family alone in 2004, I lost my father at 70 (Pictured) after 2 years fighting the disease. Just 6 weeks before I lost my Dad, I lost my Uncle (61 Years). I have also lost various family friends and other relatives over the years from the same form of Cancer. As a result this year I have decided in my 45th year to do something about it.

I was one of the lucky ones who had a fantastic life that I shared with my Dad and was able to spend his last moments with him telling him what a great guy he was and how he would be missed. Had he been diagnosed earlier he would still be with us now, unfortunately it was not to be.

Prostate cancer is a curable disease if diagnosed early, but often goes undetected especially in older men. As a cycling the Bealach Beag http://www.handsonevents.co.uk/Events/Bealach/Beag_Route.htm cycle route on the 8th May 2010. The route is only 43 Miles, bun includes the UK's biggest road climb at 2053ft (626m) from sea level in just 6mls (10k). It is set in a fabulous unspoilt landscape with outstanding views of the sea and the hills. The Applecross Peninsula is renowned as a gem in Scotland’s crown of natural wonders. 

As part of the challenge, I would like to raise as much money as possible to raise awareness of Prostate cancer as well as raising money for Maggies Centres throughout the UK.

So please give generously.

Many thanks

Pete
