Hi everyone,

In April 2025, I’ll be running a half marathon to raise funds and awareness for Prost8, an incredible charity with a critical mission: increasing awareness of and access to newer, minimally invasive treatments for prostate cancer in the UK.

This cause is close to my heart because my grandad was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and we’re so grateful he received the care he needed. My other grandad has also dealt with prostate problems, including an enlarged prostate, which is a common issue that many men face as they get older. Both experiences have shown me how critical it is to have the right treatment options available. But many men are still facing the risks of overtreatment and invasive procedures, which can sometimes lead to unnecessary side effects. Prost8 is working to change this by broadening access to advanced, less invasive treatments that can help preserve quality of life while effectively managing the disease.

Prost8’s vision is to make minimally invasive treatments more widely available so that fewer men face the difficult choices and challenges of traditional treatment. They’re advocating for greater awareness and more accessible options to ensure men in the UK get the best possible care.

By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping Prost8 make these critical treatments a reality for more families. Every pound raised brings us closer to a future where fewer men and their loved ones have to face the devastating impact of prostate cancer overtreatment.

Thank you for your support, whether through donating or simply sharing this page with others who might want to contribute. Every step of this half marathon is dedicated to my grandads, to those bravely facing prostate cancer today, and to a brighter future for men’s health in the UK. Let’s make a difference together!
