I'm running multiple events in 2023 for Prostate Cancer UK. Prostate cancer kills 1 in 8 men. That's one dad, partner, brother, son, grandad, uncle or mate. I'm raising money to help fund lifesaving research and support for men and their families affected by prostate cancer.

I am running multiple events in 2023 in preparation for running a full marathon next year, the 2024 London Marathon, as it will be the 30th anniversary since I last run it. I am aiming to raise a total of £13,000!

Let me say right off the bat, that I owe massive
amounts of eternal thanks, gratitude & Love, to my most beautiful partner, Debra. For without her being by my side during our journey together I believe I would not have healed as I did. Make no mistake we healed together as a Team - Love You Gorgeous One - Panayiotis XX 

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer 22 November 2018 and the journey that followed has been one of gratitude, discovery, joy and friendship.

I have been very open about my diagnosis right from the start, as I knew that this moment was not only a time for me to heal but also share my experience so other men could avoid having to deal with prostate cancer.

My quest, whilst raising funds is hugely beneficial, is also to bring awareness to my family, friends and local community, that their health is important and should not be ignored. As men we are quick to book our cars with an engineer when we hear a strange new noise emanating from under the bonnet, but will ignore bodily symptoms, which have persisted for six months!

I have been in remission since 18 November 2019 after extensive Radiotherapy treatment for 6 1/2 weeks at Charing Cross Hospital, London, to whom I am forever grateful for all the Angels who took great care of me. I was administered my final injection, as part of a three year course of treatment, on 19 July 2021, and that is the day I started running again! And since that day I haven't stopped running!

I ran my first running event, since my diagnosis, at the Ealing Half Marathon in September 2022.

I was inspired by Kevin Webber’s
story of dealing with Prostate Cancer, how running has given him a new lease on Life. The key to his healing is movement. Whilst most of us can only dream of the achievements he has accomplished, I believe most of
us can do some movement a few times a week, whether it’s walking, cycling, swimming or indeed running. With this in mind, I set-up a running group from the coffee house where I work. We are known as the Espresso Runners (Instagram @espresso_runners). It’s a great way to get some exercise, meet some new folk and share stories. We are more 5K to
Coffee than Couch to 5K!

Anyhow, that’s me in a nutshell doing my best to bring Awareness, Running & Love to our neighbourhood in Ealing and beyond.

I look forward to your support.

Love Panayiotis (Mountain Thunder) & Debra
