I’m taking part in Football to Amsterdam, a two day, 150-mile two day bike ride to the Dutch capital. We’ll be putting football rivalries aside to tackle prostate cancer once and for all. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. It’s a disease which kills one man every 45 minutes – that’s two men during a football match. But Prostate Cancer UK know that we can turn it around. Their aim is to make this a disease the next generation need not fear.

When I signed up for the 2020 ride it has been 18 months since I completed my Lands End to John O'Groats ride, then was hospitalised with Sepsis followed by Prostate Cancer surgery - A busy 2018!

I was lucky and the Prostate Cancer was caught early, the Operation went well and I have been scoring zero's in the PSA blood tests ever since.  High time then to put some effort into raising funds and awareness for the disease and the clever people who working on tests to diagnose it and procedures to tackle it. 

The 2020 ride was delayed by Covid but it is finally happening in June 2022 and I can't wait to join +200 others on the ride.
