In 2011, my dad (known universally as Fred) was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. He underwent many varied treatments after his diagnosis and had a good few years of exploring new places with my mum and sharing happy times with his family. He passed away on 5th August 2015 at the age of 64.

I am therefore joining Jeff Stelling on his Men United March by walking with my friend and colleague Neil Wilson from York City FC to Leeds United FC. This is a particularly special leg of the journey given that my dad (unfortunately) was a Leeds United fan. I am walking in his memory and to raise important funds to aid research into new treatments for prostate cancer.
