Paul Dear is raising money for PROSTATE CANCER UK

Story
What is my story, why am I doing this?
Well, put quite simply:
I AM DYING OF PROSTATE CANCER.
It is slowly, but surely, killing me!
Many will be aware that I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in Oct 2016, but the time I was diagnosed, my cancer had already progressed the advanced stage, where it had spread widely to my bones.
It cannot be cured or eradicated, it's here and here it will stay. It is too late to change my fate.
But it doesn't have to be this way for other men. With greater awareness amongst men, this cancer can often be caught early. If caught at an early stage, then there are options. Often men can have the cancer removed entirely and live cancer free.
By donating to my page, you are helping me raise money which will:
a) fund research into prostate cancer which searches for a cure,
b) fund publicity which raises awareness,
c) fund support services for sufferers (like me).
So, here I am again asking for your support in raising money for Prostate Cancer UK. Once more I am going to ride my cycle 140 miles from London to Amsterdam at the beginning of June.
First though, I must train hard over the coming months. Then, along with around 400 like-minded others, including my daughter Laura & my son Adam, I must take on the big ride.
Thank you for reading this far. But before you go, I'd like you to do 2 things:
1) Please make all of the hours of bum-numbing training worth it and donate to my fund-raising (obviously).
2) Probably more important than 1), please please spread the word about prostate cancer. It's cancer and it kills!!! If you are a man over 50, or you know a man over 50 who you care about, get to the doctors and INSIST on a PSA test. Do it now! It can save a life.
Thank you.
