This October, The Scrambled Legs and Kippers team - made up of some sporty, some not so sporty, friends and family - are taking on the Bath Half Marathon to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK and to show our support for Nigel Duke who has been dealing with the disease since 2020.

Your donations will support the incredible work done by Prostate Cancer UK - raising awareness, improving early diagnosis, providing new treatments through research, and giving hope to so many men and their families. 

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. More than 52,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK every year – that's 143 men every day. 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

The current diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer is failing men. Every year, over 10,000 men across the UK, like Nigel, are diagnosed only after their cancer has metastasised and spread widely around their body. Those men, as a result of their late diagnosis, miss any opportunity for curative treatment and have a significantly reduced life expectancy compared to men diagnosed with cancer that is still contained within the prostate.

We need to make radical changes to the current diagnostic pathway to identify more prostate cancers before metastasis. It is clear that far more major investment is needed to find accurate tests and better imaging, alongside the development of a screening program which will catch the disease early enough to give men hope of a cure.

It is so important that we tame this disease as soon as we can, so that other men (and families) will not be where Nigel is in years to come.

We appreciate any contribution you can make.
