All with just a pair of trainers and a JustGiving page. Simply sign up and run, jog, walk or wheel a total of 26.2 miles throughout January to take part.
Your rewards!
- When you sign up, you’ll receive a branded t-shirt to wear with pride on your runs to help raise awareness of prostate cancer.
- When you hit £300 we’ll send you a branded running t-shirt, made of light-weight breathable material.
- Hit £500 raised and one of our bobble hats will be yours!
How your money will make a difference
- £100 could cover the cost of analysing six blood samples. This could help researchers find new ways to identify aggressive prostate cancer that will help men with advanced disease be diagnosed earlier.
- £300 could cover the cost of analysing the DNA in tumour cells in the blood of one man, which gives scientists important insight into his cancer and how it can be treated best.
- £500 could pay for the extraction of Ribonucleic acid (RNA) from 50 blood samples to identify genetic markers associated with prostate cancer.
