Hi, I'm Alistair, 62 years old and living with Prostate Cancer.

I had my prostate removed in February 2024 but in July, the cancer had spread to my spine, pelvis and ribs so I had chemo until December 2024. My condition is life-limiting and so my prognosis is not so great but I remain really positive about the future.

I believe that despite my condition, I can become an IRONMAN. I’ve done smaller Triathlons before Covid but am by no means an “athlete”.

I hope I can help to raise some money and publicity for Prostate Cancer research to help find cures for this silent, deadly illness. I will be ever so grateful for any contribution you can provide to Prostate Cancer UK to help fight this disease.

I have a YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@ProstateCancerIronman ) which has 2 very direct goals:

1) Early diagnosis of prostate cancer is eminently curable. If I can encourage men, particularly in their 50’s to get a PSA test EARLY and INSIST on it, I’ll be very pleased.

2) I hope my Ironman journey inspires others who are also having difficult situations in their lives to achieve something, just give it a go!!

I look forward to sharing my journey with you, however long it takes.

Many many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Alistair
