Michael Maskell is raising money for PROSTATE CANCER UK

Mike’s Motorcycle 1000 · 16 May 2022

1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer. At Prostate Cancer UK, we’re giving every man the power to navigate it. With over £100 million invested in research, treatment, and care, we’re building a future where prostate cancer no longer cuts men’s lives short. Together, we can help save men’s lives.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2017. Despite chemotherapy and radiotherapy I still live with it. On the bright side it is being controlled by a number of med’s. Still staying positive.

A man dies of PC in the UK every hour so PCUK does valuable work in both raising awareness and research work. They have certainly helped me.

So why I have chosen to go on a [motor] bike ride? I thought given the side effects of the med’s which cause fatigue riding the equivalent of 200 miles over each of 5 consecutive days from 16th May 2022 would present a good challenge. Keeping your wits about you at all times on a motorcycle is paramount, don't worry I'll be making stops to admire the view or taking in some caffeine. Exact route not decided although I intend to ride through The Peaks, Yorkshire Moors, The Lakes and Snowdonia amongst others. Regular updates posted on Facebook and this page.

I’ve set a target of £1000 simply because it’s a pound a mile.

I hope you can donate, every little counts, thank you for reading this.
