Thank you for taking the time to read my fundraising description.

My dad was diagnosed with stage 2 prostate cancer on Christmas of 2022. This has since really opened my eyes on the importance of getting tested. But also that cancer can happen to anyone.

Since my dads diagnosis I recently fell in love with running. This was a way I could spend time with my dad and to make something positive out of the negative and we have been running together since 2023. We are both apart of “Danson running club” - a free run club that have helped my dad a lot with his diagnosis but also donated and contributed to his journey. We can’t thank them enough.

Any donations are much appreciated.

Thank you.

Kind regards

Harry Thorpe
