Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Chris and David have known each other since school in the mid 80's, going to the same university and staying close friends for over forty years. We've shared many experiences, good and bad, but both being diagnosed with prostate cancer in our 50's certainly isn't our favourite. Luckily, we were both able to be treated quickly and (fingers always crossed) successfully.

We decided now is a good time to do something we've talked about for a decade or more, and to use that as an opportunity to raise money and give something back to people and places that help people deal with a prostate cancer diagnosis and, hopefully, treatment.

We have chosen to take on the challenge of the Coast to Coast Walk across the north of England, following the famous Wainwright route. We're starting early October and planning to finish two weeks and 196 miles later. Keep an eye on https://www.2men196miles0prostates.co.uk to find out how we're getting on...

We've chosen two charities to raise money for - Prostate Cancer UK and Addenbrooke's Charitable Trust. It's entirely your choice as to how you'd like to split your donation between them. This page records donations to Prostate Cancer UK. Our combined fundraising total is shown on our 'team' page here - https://www.justgiving.com/team/daveandchris Sorry if it seems a bit clunky - just let us know if you have any problems donating.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
