    Funded on Saturday, 30th June 2018

    Story

    A Father’s Day like no other is coming to York with the male-only annual 5K run 'R U Taking The P' charity event (http://www.yorkagainstcancer.org.uk/events/r-u-taking-p).The event will be on Sunday 17th June 2017 to raise funds for research into prostate cancer (internationally recognised centre at the University of York) and YorkAgainstCancer (a charity that provides practical help and support for patients and their families living with cancer in the Yorkshire regions).

    Prostate cancer now kills more men than breast cancer and funds are desperately needed for research and family support.

    I will be running 5K to help raise funds for the above cause. The last time I ran in an organised event was in 1974 in Hull for my school cross country team - I came 56th out of 70 :-)

    I will be running 5K on 2nd June (Hull Park Run) as I will be unavailable on Fathers Day in York. Training and weight loss to start soon!

    ANY contribution you could make would be fantastic - thanks.

      WE'VE DONE IT!!!!! With personal donations we have now raised £500 for this great cause. THANKS to all who have been so generous - none of the funds go for administrative purposes so 100% of your monetary gift will go directly to the cancer cause. I thought I might have been a little too optimistic in aiming for £500 but peoples generosity has been amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH. The page will be open for a further donations until 25th June 2018

      Well, your donations motivated me and I did the run last Saturday!, The sight of my carcass stumbling around a West Hull Park may have frightened the horses be we raised (with personal donations) over £400 which really is fantastic - so on behalf of York Against Cancer, THANK YOU. The donation page will be open for a couple more weeks if others want to help this great cause.

      Hi All. Just 3 days to my run, and we have raised 73% of the £500 target (this webpage and personal donations). This is great. If you can pass on the sponsorship request to others before Saturday that would be fantastic. Prostate cancer now unfortunately kills more men than breast cancer kills women and both diseases needs more funds for research and support. EVERY £ helps. Thanks Vin
