After years of trying I was very lucky to get a ballot place for the London Marathon next year, beating the odds of 1 in 50 from the record number of 840,000 entrants, and I've decided to run for Prostate Cancer UK. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That means more chance of being effected than getting the slot in the marathon and those effected can be someone's dad, partner, brother, son, grandad, uncle or mate. In the black and white cover photo, all 3 people have been affected by cancer and sadly I lost my mother and grandmother as a result. I'm now raising money to help fund lifesaving research and support for men and their families affected by prostate cancer.
