Story
Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. Any donations, no matter how big or small would mean so much to me and my family.
1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer and our family know only too well the devastating impact it can have. I always thought my Dad was invincible, but he was diagnosed with prostate cancer back in December 2006 at just 44 years old. Following years of treatment and checks, and after years of remission, we all thought he was in the clear. That he'd "beaten" cancer.
Last year we received the devastating news that the cancer had spread throughout his bones and lymphatic system. There's no cure for my Dad and I am utterly heart broken, but by helping to fund research, we can only hope for better treatments and a cure in the future for the many Dads, sons and brothers who will bravely face prostate cancer.
My Dad is my hero, and to climb Snowdon alongside him will be a memory I'll have forever. Something we always said we would do. I'm really excited for the challenge.
About the challenge:
Snowdonia for science will see us tackle the less frequently walked paths to the summit of Snowdon, all the while knowing that each step we take is a step towards a world where families are free from the devastating impact of prostate cancer.
Anyone who knows me well will know I'm not exactly fit. I have fully embraced the working from home life and I'm currently in the worst shape of my life. So this challenge will be exactly that - a challenge! But all for the best cause I can think of.
We've always talked about climbing the peaks and it will be an honour to finally do it together alongside Dad for a cause so close to our hearts.
About the charity:
Prostate Cancer Research are dedicated to creating brand new prostate cancer treatments. Prostate cancer is now the most diagnosed cancer in the UK and 11,500 men die from the disease every year. People affected by prostate cancer need breakthrough treatments, and research is the only way to turn this hope into reality. Their vision is clear; a world where people are free from the impact of prostate cancer. I’m part of #TeamPCR because I share this vision. Will you help me support their research?
