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

Let’s cut to the chase.......

More than 1 in 4 cancers that affect men are prostate cancer.  

Men don’t see the doctor so 40% are late diagnosed.

Over 47,000 men are diagnosed with prostate each year.

Over 11,000 men will die of prostate cancer this year.

Prostate cancer will account for 7% of all deaths this year!

I had a prostate scare 2 years ago which thankfully was resolved with medical intervention.  But I was forced to stop cycling for 18 months.  I’ve now got a saddle that won’t cause me problems and so I felt like it was time to really make a difference and raise this area’s profile (so to speak).

The prostate is the size of a walnut so let’s raise some money and ‘crack this nut’.

I am cycling 100 miles in a day with Lyndsey, Richard and Andrea (that’s 400 as a team!).  You don’t need to share our pain but you could give us a huge psychological boost and provide Prostate Cancer UK with an investment that will change prospects for thousands of men in the future.

Every penny will make a massive difference and if you have a little more then we’re well on the way to raising £1000 for every 1% of male cancers in the UK.

Please, please hit donate.

Thank you
