I’m Sue, and I’m running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of my husband, John. He was diagnosed in January 2024 with early-stage prostate cancer, although fortunately, he has no symptoms and no treatment is required yet.

There is no history of prostate cancer in his family and therefore no obvious reason to have a PSA test, but John requested one from our surgery purely as a precaution.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That’s someone’s dad, brother, partner, or mate. So that’s why I’m running - to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK.

Sometimes the signs aren’t obvious and early checks can save lives.

I may not have crown jewels of my own but it doesn’t mean that I don’t realise the importance of every man getting the care they need in time. If you can spare a donation, it’ll mean the world to us both.

And yes – I plan to run faster than him.
