London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·

#TeamPCR are running the 2023 London Marathon to support innovative scientists developing more effective and less harmful treatments for prostate cancer.

Story

Having been diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 21 at
the age of 63, I then found out how vulnerable all men are to this terrible
disease. We need to get as much money as possible pumped into research and make
all men aware that it exists, particularly men over 50.

I have to thank Total Control Services Ltd who provided me
with private health care as part of my wellbeing package (which I was very
grateful for in a pandemic!).

I'm taking on the London Marathon for two main reasons; one
is to
prove that there
is a normal life after treatment, (I am still on the hormone tablets) and the
other is
to
raise
additional funds for research.

The training is hard work and I am trying very hard to get
strong enough to finish the marathon and hopefully stay away from any
injuries!!

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed male cancer in
the UK, yet current treatments are limited and can be harmful particularly
in the late stages. Prostate
Cancer Research funds research into more effective treatments for prostate
cancer with the aim
of creating
a future where people are free from the impact of the disease. Your fundraising
will support innovative scientists
, with bold ideas and working collaboratively, to
achieve results and
that put the patient’s
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.
Thank you
