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 time to visit my fundraising page. I'll be walking the Ridgeway40 (40 mile challenge walk) on the 9 May 2026 to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK. The 40 miles has to be covered in under 14 hours. I'll be joined by my son Finn and by my good friend David.

Over 12,000 men a year die from Prostate Cancer in the UK alone. I was lucky, a simple PSA blood test led to a referral for prostate cancer and it was caught early. I had a radical prostatectomy on the 28 August 2025 and received the all clear on the 15 October. I did not have any symptoms or feel ill.

Prostate Cancer UK provides a great source of information and support (I found it very useful). They're also doing ground-breaking research to develop more effective ways to detect prostate cancer and help ensure more men are diagnosed earlier and more lives are saved. I hope you can spare a £ or two ... no matter how small the donation it all helps. Thank you
