Starting in Richmond Green, the late summer cycle takes cyclists through the pretty villages of the Thames Valley all the way to Alexandra Gardens in Windsor. The 55, 37 or 29 mile cycle includes some towpaths that goes through Windsor Great Park to the finish. 

Hormone therapy is still the primary and most effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Consequently, survival rates have improved little over the last 70 years. New and more effective therapy is urgently needed.

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men. Over 11,000 men die every year in the UK and the number increases every year. Advanced prostate cancer is treated with hormone therapy, developed in the 1940s. 

We are funding world class scientists in world class institutions to ensure we are moving closer every day to achieving our mission. 

Where your money is going:

£2,500

DNA is the basis of human life, and when it is corrupted cancer can develop. £2500 will provide one researcher with DNA sequencing kits to last one year.

£1,000

We study prostate cancer cells in the laboratory. £1000 will supply one team with a set of pipettes to accurately measure tiny volumes of liquid containing the cancer cells.

£500

£500 pays for 500 of our Prostate Cancer Information Booklets, to be sent out for free to help newly diagnosed men and their families make the decisions they will face regarding treatment and care.

£250

We need to distinguish normal and cancer cells in the laboratory. £250 will pay for a fluorescent antibody for detecting prostate cancer cells.

£100

We need to grow prostate cancer cells in the laboratory as a starting point to test new drugs. £100 will buy a bottle of liquid food for growing the cells. 

One month of research costs £4000

One week of research costs £1000

One day of research costs £200
