In May 2024 I will be dragging myself though 10 miles of mud and over 20+ obstacles in the Tough Mudder London West event in support of Prostate Cancer UK.

In the UK, about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, and both my dad and grandad have been afflicted by the disease, making the cause quite personal to me. We don't know exactly what causes it, but through research Prostate Cancer UK are working to change this whilst also supporting the 52,000 men who are diagnosed every year.

- £1 could pay to scan a section of prostate cancer tissue, which scientists can use to understand how to prevent prostate cancer from coming back and why the disease develops.

- £100 could cover one man’s travel cost to participate in a clinical trial - contributing to the important final steps in bringing a new treatment to men.

- £2,000 could allow researchers to buy a drug which has already been developed for another disease, which can be tested in men with prostate cancer as a potential new treatment.
