The stats are clear: 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer, and one man dies from it every 45 minutes, yet prostate cancer is curable if caught early. Several of my friends have had prostate cancer, with a range of outcomes. On Sunday 13 September in Petersfield, I walked 10K with the March for Men for my good friend Alfonso Bucero in Madrid, currently fighting the disease heroically, alongside other significant health challenges.

I'm raising money for prostate cancer charities and the Rosemary Foundation. Please give generously - every penny helps. Thank you.

Also, if you're a man over 50, get tested! It's a quick, simple and painless blood test, and it could save your life.
