Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Following John's successful Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge last year, he has caught the climbing bug and decided to fulfill a long-time ambition to climb Kilimanjaro.  Never one to miss out on a new challenge, Chris has decided to join him.  

Why do we need your help?  Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men, and we are fighting to help more men survive and enjoy a better quality of life, through both research and treatment.  Two Summers ago, following a routine blood test at the GP, John discovered he had a high PSA reading indicating a possibility of Prostate cancer.  This led him to research Prostate Cancer in more detail, finding out there is currently no definitive test.  Every year, 40,000 men are diagnosed with the disease, of which 10,000 die.  Awareness is growing with campaigns such as 'Movember' and 'Men United', but more money is needed.  

Last year, with the help of his colleague Dave Burke, John's Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge raised over £5000 for this great cause, and with your support we hope we can exceed this amount.
