Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I was diagnosed with High Risk Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer in June 2014 and decided to help raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK by running the Reading Half Marathon in 2015.  Unfortunately, I suffered a heart attack in November 2014 and wasn't able to take part in the race.  I entered last year's race but was unable to compete due to ongoing heart problems.  This year's race, on March 19th, will be my third attempt but I'm determined to start it and finish, even if I have to walk it.

My cancer is being controlled at the moment and my cardiologist has given me the "ok" to do the race.  Now is the time to raise funds to help the charity to help others in a similar position and to say "Thank You" for all the help they have given me.
