I am a terrible runner (see photo in the gallery section!). The truth is, I'm not a runner at all - I can merely jog a little and so a half-marathon will be no fun for me (I'm dreading it to be honest). But I'm doing it because recently I have had to learn about the impact of prostate cancer on sufferers, their partners and their families. I was shocked at how severe the impact of the condition can be, how fast the cancer can spread and yet how limited the treatment options are. Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK, yet there is currently no workable means of screening, meaning it is often detected late. The treatments are incredibly harsh and have appalling, often long-term, side effects. I'm therefore raising money to help fund lifesaving research, improve the treatments and support men and their families affected by prostate cancer.
