I'm briskly walking at least 26.2 miles throughout January for Prostate Cancer UK. Prostate cancer now affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. That's thousands of dads, partners, brothers, grandads, uncles and mates. I'm raising money to help fund lifesaving research and support for men and their families affected by prostate cancer. I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in June 2019. The cancer had spread from the prostate into my hip bone and lower spine, but it is being contained, so far, with help from our amazing NHS, however it is incurable. The medication is only effective for a limited period of time, after which a new course of treatment is needed, so research into new drugs is vital. Also, as with most cancers, early diagnosis means more effective treatment, so more accurate and simple testing will mean less people like me being diagnosed after the cancer has spread. I'm currently feeling well and looking forward to more years of making memories with my brilliant family. Please help me raise money for this worthy cause.
