Kevin's next decade of running with T4 cancer (ambitious eh?)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Who would have believed it, not me that's for sure but here I am 10 years after being told that I may be dead in 2 back in 2014 from advanced, incurable and therefore terminal prostate cancer. Now in my 60th year I aim to see if I can keep going just a little bit longer to spread awareness of prostate cancer, raise a few quid for this important charity and maybe inspire you to be a bit more brave no matter what and chase those dreams like me.
First off, back to the Arctic! Having vowed never again after my last disaster I am taking on the "Ice Ultra". Why on earth would I go and take on this 230k beast at -40C ? Well it was the only race I could find where my 60th birthday was during the event. Most people have a party but I can think of nothing better than taking on a mega challenge with a huge amount of jeopardy as to whether I finish to spend another day I never thought I would have.

After that I have the matter of running two marathons that I last ran together during weeks 13 and 15 of chemotherapy 10 years ago, yes a return to the Brighton and London Marathons within a short space of time. The challenge here is will I be faster now, 10 years older and 10 years of cancer drugs (that's over 10,000 pills btw!) than I was when younger but on grim chemo?
As ever, after that I have plans for some more big overseas races but lets see if I make it through the Arctic first eh?
I have lost count of the men who I got to know in my decade of cancer who are no longer with us because of prostate cancer. A man dies every 45 minutes in the UK alone of this rubbish indiscriminate disease so its now my life's mission to make a difference for future generations and if you support me then you have become a part of this campaign too, thank you.
