I'm running the London Marathon for Prostate Cancer UK.

I lost my dad to the disease after a brave fight. The fact he was diagnosed early after a PSA blood test meant that he was treated and lived for another 10 years - he was able to enjoy time watching his grandchildren grow up. I miss him every day and it's been on my mind for a fair while that I wanted to do this event in his memory.

It would just be superb to raise some money for such a worthwhile cause and I hugely appreciate anyone who supports me - will just help give me more motivation when it gets to the hard miles (probably after the 5k mark!).
