Story

From 5-7 June this year I'll be stepping out of my comfort zone (again!) and saddling up for the second time in Prostate Cancer UK’s Football to Amsterdam bike ride.

I’ll admit I was a little sceptical before the ride last year as I wasn’t much of a cyclist, but the support and camaraderie between all the riders guided me through – and I enjoyed the ride so much that I’ve signed up again for 2020.

I'm normally one of those people who thinks 'what will be will be' but hearing the stats about prostate cancer shocked me.

Prostate cancer affects one in eight men in the UK and that stat worsens to one in four if you are a black man, which really brought things home. Thinking about the amount of football I've watched this year and equating that to one man dying every 45 minutes, that's shocking.

Prostate Cancer UK is a terrific cause and is making huge strides in football and beyond. Events like Football to Amsterdam are playing a massive part in driving change for men, but there’s still a lot of work to be done.

The ride is going to be tough, but I'm really looking forward to it, and knowing the money raised by all the riders will go towards stopping prostate cancer being a killer is all the motivation I need.

Thanks again for your support.
