I'm challenging myself to do a 13.1 mile run. I've never done any long distance running so this is definitely going to be a hard challenge! I would love any support whether running with me, cheering me on or booting me out in the rain to go train for it! The best support I can ask for however would be a small donation to a charity close to my heart Prostate Cancer Uk.
Please help their work and help the fight against cancer.
Prostate cancer is currently the most common cancer in men, accounting for 25% of all cancer diagnoses.
How can you stop prostate cancer being a killer?
In the last 20 years, we have invested over £37 million into ground breaking research. Bit by bit we've unearthed new discoveries. Inch by inch we’ve increased our knowledge, building on the advances of previous research, and laying foundations for future learning.
Through combining our knowledge of prostate cancer with that of our peers in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, we’re getting to grips with how prostate cancer evolves, what it looks like at a molecular level, and how as a disease it can vary from one man to another.
A practical plan for progress
To tame prostate cancer we will focus our attention on four priority areas:
Better diagnosis
Better treatment
Better prevention
Better support
Consulting with researchers, health professionals and men affected by prostate cancer, our strategy – Ten years to tame prostate cancer – is based on what we know now, and what we can build on using this knowledge.
These are ambitious targets, and making inroads into these areas will be expensive, but with your help in supporting us fund this research, we will be able to stop prostate cancer being a killer.
