My Story

I'm running my first London Marathon for Prostate Cancer UK. After a diagnosis of prostate cancer in 2021 at St. Richard's in Chichester, I underwent radical prostatectomy at the Royal Surrey in Guildford in March 2022.

The treatment and care I've received through the NHS has been outstanding and I am forever in debt to the surgeons, clinicians and other professionals who have looked after me. Nearly two years on, I am fit and well enough to enjoy a normal life. I have three-monthly progress checks.

One in eight men will encounter prostate cancer and it is particularly worrying for men of Afro-Caribbean heritage. Most families will be impacted by this disease which affects partners, brothers, Dads, grandads, uncles and friends.

Raising money can help provide others receive the groundbreaking care I have been so fortunate to experience.

I'd welcome your support in my bid to run the London Marathon on 21st April, 2024 raising money to continue this life saving work.

Thank you,

 Ian.
