My story

I'm Marching for Men! This June I’ll be taking on a lifesaving walk towards a better future for men. Your donation can make a huge difference to the 1 in 8 men who will get prostate cancer. It could help fund lifesaving research and provide vital support services to men and their families who are navigating this disease.

Prostate cancer is one of the most survivable cancers there is, if you catch it at an early stage. If you’re over 50, if you’re Black, or if your dad or brother had it, you’re at higher risk. Share our 30 second risk checker today, the earlier it's found, the easier it is to treat. https://prostatecanceruk.org/risk-checker

I am way behind where I wanted to be in terms of running but am working my way back. In the meantime, and having prepared, I am supporting Prostate Cancer UK’s March for Men on Saturday 13 June. There are various lengths of walks, of course I am doing the longest at 20 km.

My diagnosis was a shock. I had no symptoms. I learnt a lot and quickly!

It is the most common of all cancers in the UK. Whilst survival has drastically improved, approximately 12,000 men die from the diseases every year. The recent announcement of there being no national screening programme is disappointing, but funds raised are vital in improving every aspect of the journey men will go on.

I appreciate times are difficult and many get asked to support from lots of different directions. If you are able to spare anything, however small, it would be greatly appreciated, not only by me but the charity.

Thank you for reading and supporting.

Andy
