Cancer affects us all in one way or another.

Prostate Cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK.

This October, I’m taking on the Prostate United Cancer UK challenge to walk 5–10km every single day for the entire month.

It’s a big commitment, but nothing compared to the fight faced by those living with prostate cancer.

I would really appreciate the support of the Railway family for this challenge, please only donate what you can, even just a share of this status can help.

I will always achieve a minimum of 5k, but will be aiming for 10k per day, with my October monthly goal of a minimum of 200km.

I won’t spam this heavily, just once a week. Sharing is caring though 🙏

I'm raising money for Prostate Cancer UK by taking part in Prostate United.
