The Urology Foundation is the only UK charity dedicated to all urology diseases with a mission to save lives and end the suffering caused by urology cancers & conditions. These diseases affect millions across the UK and Ireland. Working with researchers, urology and health care professional TUF supports cutting-edge research and leading education and training.

From a personal perspective TUF sponsored me to travel to New Zealand to learn the technique of HoLEP for benign prostate surgery. It is a far superior procedure than conventional techniques. I have now performed over 2000 of these cases for patients and have become one of the country's leading experts in the technique.

The TUF riders consist of a mixture of Urologists, nurses, patients and industry representatives who undertake a challenging ride to continue to support the charity. To date over the last few years we have raised over £750,000 from this annual event. All the funds raised go the charity as participants pay for their own accommodation and expenses. I would urge you to give generously. There is never a good time to know a Urologist except when you really need one-but when you do you will want one that has been sponsored by TUF as they will be good!!
