As most of you will know, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2021. Although the cancer was aggressive, fortunately early detection and amazing care by NHS staff resulted in a radical prostatectomy followed by a full recovery. I have been surprised by the lack of knowledge of this common cancer in men and would hugely appreciate support in both raising awareness and helping others to feel comfortable and safe to talk about, and face up to, this serious disease. Prostate Cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK, killing one man every 45 minutes in the UK. That's the same time it takes to play three holes of golf. That's why I'm golfing the distance and taking on The Big Golf Race, to keep men in the game for longer. The money raised by this challenge will help fund research into life-saving treatments for prostate cancer and provide practical support to men and their families.
