My story

I'm Marching (sort of) for Men! On Saturday 14th June I'm aiming to beat the record for sauntering 10km around Battersea Park in the fastest time by a 70 year old who used to have a prostate gland. The Guinness Book Of Records will be there to validate my amazing attempt at fund-raising immortality.

Why am I doing it? I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April last year and had a radical prostatectomy in July. I didn't have any obvious symptoms but due to the diligence of my fantastic GP and the NHS specialists the cancer was detected relatively early and seemingly my operation has been a success such that I need no further treatment. My PSA is being monitored on a regular basis - so far, so good!

Since my diagnosis and treatment I have become something of an evangelist in encouraging all men in the potentially vulnerable categories to get a PSA test - it's a no brainer chaps! I'm doing the 10km 'March' For Men (my running days are long since behind me!) for two main reasons: to thank every single member of the lovely dedicated NHS staff I met on my journey and to raise a few bob for Prostate Cancer UK for the brilliant work they do. Feel very free to be generous. I thank you and I mean that most sincerely!

Your donation can make a huge difference to the 1 in 8 men who will get prostate cancer. It will 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.
