Story

I’m taking part in Football to Amsterdam, a two day, 160- mile 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. 

My football mentor, our school headmaster Bernard Higgins who followed our football for many years passed away from Prostate Cancer. Now our dear former colleague at Telford Homes, Rod Kilby is battling cancer that has started as Prostate. Rods situation has inspired me to ride to raise funds for the new trial treatments that Rod and others are testing.
