In September 2014 my Dad was diagnosed with Advanced Prostate Cancer. His cancer was terminal yet was fortunate to receive treatment and participated in drugs trials that prolonged his life. As a family, we are proud of the legacy he has left which I hope will help many brothers, uncles and fathers of the future. 

The statistics are hard-hitting.

Every 45 minutes one man dies from prostate cancer – that's more than 11,500 men every year.

1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Today and tomorrow (a year later then planned - C-19!) I will be running a 24 hour race to raise awareness for this disease.

How does the race work I hear you say:

• 2 in a Team - my Team mate is a legend who I’ve historically shared a podium with (in the 12 hour version of this event) and guided me to my 3:20 marathon 
• Only 1 person can be on the course at a given time 
• 6 mile laps
• 24 hours to complete as many laps as we can 

This is undoubtedly going to be a mental and physical challenge with no sleep and a whole lot of kms; however, I hope to contribute to a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. 

Thanks for your support!
