Hello everyone I'm taking on the London Marathon, in support of Prostate Cancer Research. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed male cancer in the UK. Yet current treatments are limited and can be harmful particularly for the later stages. 

I’m running in memory of my dad John, who was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 2015. At this time prostate cancer checks were not frequently carried out and neither were conversations/overall awareness. Thanks to some of the hormone treatment options available, most of the years he lived were physically uninterrupted by prostate cancer and its treatments side effects.

Despite the roll out of new immunotherapy trials, my dad was not a suitable candidate and had to begin radiotherapy and chemo therapy in the later stages. We said our goodbyes April 12th 2023.

With your support, my goal is to raise money and help with the roll out of new treatment options and give men with prostate cancer the chance to live longer with less side effects.

I want to get people talking about prostate cancer, so we can help men prevent this illness or catch it before it’s too late.

Prostate Cancer Research funds research into more effective treatments for prostate cancer with the aim creating a future where people are free from the impact of the disease. Your fundraising will support innovative scientists with bold ideas working collaboratively to achieve results and who put patient voice at the heart of their decisions making a real difference to the lives of people affected. Any donation will help me get one step closer to my target and will help to support Prostate Cancer Research in achieving their mission. And improving the quality of life for men with stage 4 prostate cancer, Thank you!
