Story
I’m taking part in Football to Amsterdam, a two day, 145-mile bike ride to the Dutch capital. We’ll be putting football rivalries aside to tackle prostate cancer once and for all.
I am delighted to have joined #TeamAddicks, joining other Charlton Athletic fans and former professionals, on this daunting, yet exciting cycle!! This is the biggest challenge I’ve ever done. I’ve walked 26 miles for Charity, run many charity runs, but another 120 miles is something else!
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.
