Story

Thank you for visiting my Just Giving page. Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men. Over 11,000 men die every year in the UK and the number increases every year. The Mission of PCRC is to develop new therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer. The immediate goal is to increase survival and their vision is a cure for the disease. Every pound raised will help PCRC achieve their vision.

In 2008 I lost my father to prostate cancer. He was only 64 and has missed out on meeting his grandson Alex and granddaughter Hannah. I have never raised money for a better cause and to help other families have more time to spend with each other. The London marathon has been something I have watched on TV, it is something that other people do. Now I have the chance to take part and achieve something for the greater good. Please support me (I have never asked for sponsorship before). Please share the information if something similar has happened to you and your family. 

On 22nd April 2018 I will make every step an important memory for my Dad Glyn who is missed by all his family and friends nearly a decade on.

We love you Dad xx
