Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

A little 4 years I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer and from that point I realised  my life going forward was never going to be the same . Under the medical leadership of Mr Andy Thomas and Mr Jason Lester and their colleagues at the Rutherford Cancer Centre and St Thomas surgery in Haverforwest my treatment  began to contain this horrid disease .

After 2 rounds weeks of radio therapy and an ongoing difficult tablet regime my wife Clare set me a challenge of now getting fit  again, and this started jogging with her around Roath Park Lake in Cardiff that was approximately in total  4 miles ! She told me it was a mile !

  Initially this was so much of a struggle , but after several attempts   and each time thereafter it became easier for me ,and then I started to  feel a real sense of achievement . Those horrid dark clouds had now started to lift and I began feeling a real purpose in life again .

Since 2017 I have now run 2 Half  Marathons and the Park Run in Haverfordwest most Saturdays .

In early 2022 I was given the news that the cancer is spreading and now has set up home throughout my skeleton which at times make my running quite a challenge .

So now it is time to run Cardiff 2022 .
