Michael Maskell is raising money for PROSTATE CANCER UK

Mike’s Motorcycle 1000 · 16 May 2022

Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer.

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.
