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.

Men aren't great at talking about things but we all need to be aware of the potential harm that prostate cancer can cause. My uncle Harry is currently undergoing treatment for this disease and one of my good friends, Terry, had to cope with this disease in his early 50's.

By doing this walk I'd like to raise other men's awareness of the disease, what they can do to protect and help themselves while hopefully raising a little money to help research.. 

I'm walking the 127 miles from my adopted home of Leeds to my original home of Liverpool, along the canal over 8 days in May. It will be a symbolic link between my past and my present, helping to bring back memories of family no longer with us, build new memories for me and my current family, while hopefully raising much needed funds to help support people affected by this disease.

I'm using the canal as I won't have a sat nav but hopefully I won't take a wrong turn and fall in!

Any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated.
