My story is a simple one. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January 2025, thankfully with very few symptoms. Since then, I’ve undergone hormone therapy, HDR brachytherapy, and I’m now halfway through my course of radiotherapy. It’s been a journey, but I’m feeling positive and hopeful that I’m getting there.

Throughout this experience, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to receive outstanding care and support from my local hospital, the Mid & South Essex NHS Trust in Southend. My sincere thanks go to my consultant, Dr Ahmed, and his dedicated team, who have made a challenging time far more manageable.

Now, I want to give something back.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the UK, and too many lives are affected by it. That’s why I’m helping to bring together a scratch choir of like-minded men — to raise our voices, raise awareness, and raise vital funds for Prostate Cancer UK.

We’ll be putting in the hours of practice to deliver what we hope will be a truly memorable performance — a powerful male voice choir experience — at our grand concert on 4th July 2026 at the Southend Plaza Centre.

So, help us by donating what you can to keep us on track and in tune throughout the next ten week of rehearsals!

Thank you.
