London Marathon 2017 · 23 April 2017 ·

Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year we lost my wonderful Dad following a 2 year battle with prostate cancer. Unfortunately by the time he was diagnosed there weren't any options to cure the cancer as it had already spread. In the last few weeks of his life we talked about me doing the marathon again for a cause that mattered to him, and he decided Prostate Cancer UK would be the most appropriate due to their work on raising awareness and early detection. 

Prostate cancer is now the 2nd most common cancer in men in the UK with 1 in 8 men now diagnosed at some point in their lives. Please encourage your male relatives to get checked, especially anyone over 50 as if it is caught early as with any cancer the likelihood of survival is much higher.  

I have done the London marathon 3 times for 2 great charities but with a cause so close to my heart this time, I have never felt so motivated to hit my target and make my dad proud when I cross that finish line. If you can spare any funds towards Prostate Cancer UK it will fund the great work that they do and would be greatly appreciated.
