Story

Football to Amsterdam has been an amazing success over the past four years and I’m looking forward to saddling up for the first time to raise money for a charity close to my heart, Prostate Cancer UK.

Prostate cancer affects 330,000 people in the UK, a staggering statistic. Think of a packed out Loftus Road and then imagine that almost 18 times over; those are the figures we are dealing with.

One in eight men in the UK will be affected by this disease in their lifetime. But as a black man, my risk is even greater. One in four will be affected, and if there is a history of the disease in the family – like mine – those odds are even shorter.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
