Running for ProstateCymru MJF

Cardiff Half Marathon 2022 · 27 March 2022 ·
Thank you for taking the time to visit my just give page.
Myself and Kelly will be running the Cardiff half in 2022 to raise money for prostate Cymru!!
In the UK 47,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year, in Wales alone, more than 2,500 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year and every 45 minutes one man dies from prostate cancer in the UK, 600 men die from prostate cancer each year in Wales alone.
This needs to change and if We can put ourselves through the miles needed to complete these challenges or the discomfort of a long run, then maybe with the money raised we can help change someone’s life.
We am aiming to raise as much money as possible for this great cause and will be updating our target total anytime we reach the goal set.
So please give as much as you can spare for this great cause and help change a life today.
Prostate Cymru is a great cause and here’s what they do -
Prostate Cymru is the leading prostate health charity in Wales. Founded in 2003, the charity has grown from strength to strength over the last decade.
The charity has no national or government funding and relies on the kindness and generosity of its fundraisers and volunteers to fulfil its core aims:
1. Raising awareness about prostate cancer and prostate diseases, educating men in Wales about the diseases and their risk. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in Wales and the risk increases to 1 in 3 if there is a family history of the disease. Our awareness team provide free of charge workplace awareness sessions and talks to other groups.
2. Supporting treatments and improving equipment for prostate diseases. To date we have supported GreenLight Laser treatment for benign prostate disease and funded the training of surgeons using the Da Vinci robot for minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery.
3. Funding research and innovation across Wales to ensure that men in Wales suffering with prostate diseases will have access to the best available treatments from the NHS in Wales.
4. Supporting the education of medical professionals and students through online learning resources and travelling fellowships.
