Story
My father, Andrew Wymer, lived his life in motion. He was at his happiest when he was walking, cycling, and exploring the outdoors. Even after his prostate cancer diagnosis, he refused to slow down—famously cycling himself to and from his chemotherapy treatments during his first round of care.
Sadly, after a fierce battle, Andrew’s health declined rapidly in late 2025. In his final weeks, we were cared for by Warwickshire’s Myton Hospice. They provided us with a warm, supportive space and the compassionate care we desperately needed during a time that still weighs so heavily on our hearts. We are forever grateful for the dignity they gave him and the peace they gave us.
The Cause
Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in England. -Prostatecanceruk.org, 2025
With the recent "King Charles effect" and public stories from figures like Sir Chris Hoy, awareness is at an all-time high—but the fight for early detection continues.
The Challenge
On July 7th, I’ll be taking part in the Myton Hospice Half Marathon. I’m running to honor my dad’s active spirit and to give back to the incredible team at Myton who looked after us so well.
Every donation helps Myton Hospice continue to provide their vital, free-of-charge care to families like ours.
Thank you for your support. Let's do this for Dad.
Myton Hospice
Myton are a charity, not the NHS, and must raise £12.7 million of the £15.3 million it costs this year to provide their services free of charge.
Just 17% of Mytons funding comes from the NHS.
Last year, Myton supported over 2,000 people and their families, in their hospices, via their patient & family support services, and in the community through Myton at Home.
