Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Who would have believed it, not me that's for sure but here I am over 10 years after being told that I may be dead in 2 back in 2014 from advanced, incurable and therefore terminal prostate cancer. Now age 60 I aim to see if I can keep going just a little bit longer to spread awareness of prostate cancer, raise a few quid for this important charity and maybe inspire you to be a bit more brave no matter what and chase those dreams like me.

First off I have just been back to the Arctic! Having vowed never again after my last disaster I took on the "Ice Ultra". Why on earth would I go and take on this 230k beast at -40C ? Well it was the only race I could find where my 60th birthday was during the event. Most people have a party but I could think of nothing better than taking on a mega challenge with a huge amount of jeopardy as to whether I finish to spend another day I never thought I would have. Somehow I finished ! Not everyone who started did 😢

I then ran the Brighton Marathon 10 years after I ran it on week 13 of chemotherapy. After that it was the London Marathon which I ran on week 15 of chemo 10 years ago where my expectations as ever are to get to the start line and then do my best that day. Lets face it, I am 10 years older, have had over 10,000 pills plus a bunch of other cancer stuff so I am winning just by being here. I loved every minute of the race, seeing friends old and new, so many shout outs for "Kevlaa" and more very generous donations but greedy as I am I still want more for the charity.

In May I did 2 walking marathons and 1 walking half marathons with colleagues inspired by my presentations.

At the start of June I had blood tests, MRI and ECG which were good enough to get sign off from the docs to take on https://www.alandalus-ut.com/ for a super hot 230k with over 20,000 ft of climb. I have done this race before, I failed to finish in 2018 and just managed it in 2019 so who knows what will happen this time?

After that a 32 mile race across Dartmoor , then the Berkeley Marathons UK and finally in October for a mountainous 200k in Spain. As I see it if I ever give up just because it’s a bit hard then I am asking for a life no longer to be fulfilled .

I have lost count of the men who I got to know in my decade of cancer who are no longer with us because of prostate cancer. A man dies every 45 minutes in the UK alone of this rubbish indiscriminate disease so its now my life's mission to make a difference for future generations and if you support me then you have become a part of this campaign too, thank you .
