Adrian's fundraiser for PROSTATE CANCER UK

Adrian Wood is raising money for PROSTATE CANCER UK
In memory of Peter Wood

Burnsall Half Marathon · 26 April 2025

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

So I've decided after making a few life changes in recent months I may now just be in with a chance of completing a challenge and raising some much needed funds and awareness for a very worthy cause. Prostate CANCER UK.

I'm doing so in memory of my lovely Dad Peter. Who after being diagnosed with this terrible disease at just 60 years of age lost his battle shortly after.

I've chosen a Half Marathon in a place called Burnsall in North Yorkshire as this is a place we spent many weekends as a family and have many happy memories.

I only wish I'd read the details of the race before signing up as its got a 500m climb throughout the duration of the race.

I'm no athlete far from it. I can currently just about get to 12k at a push on a treadmill on flat ground.

So I'm nervous about my chances of success to say the least.

Between the date of posting this and the event I've to run 3 times a week following a strict program to even stand a chance.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated thanks for taking the time to read my post. I will try not to let the side down🙏
