Story
Hi, my name is Dave and I’m a 39 year old overweight Father of 3 who lives Nottingham. I don’t think I’ve ridden a bike since my paper round in the early 90’s so I’ve decided to take part in Football to Amsterdam,
a two day, 145-mile bike ride to the Dutch capital to raise money for Prostate
Cancer. Easy decision!
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men. It’s a disease which kills one man every 45 minutes – that’s two men during a football match. But Prostate Cancer UK know that we can turn it around. Their aim is to make this a disease the next generation need not fear.
I’m riding with 3 amazing colleagues from Howells who are also taking part. We will also be joining 3 other teams in a huge effort to raise £50,000 for this for this worthwhile cause.
Individually we would all love to raise £1200 so if you can, please sponsor us to help us reach our target.
- Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men
with in the UK. - About 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer during
their lives. - Over 47,00 men are diagnosed with Prostate
Cancer every year - that's 129 men every day. - Over 330,000 men are living with and after
Prostate Cancer. - Every 45 minutes a UK male dies of Prostate
Cancer, that's more than 11,000 men every year.
