I'm posting this to help our very good friend Ben Bowler . Its for a very good cause, so please donate if you can
💙 Today’s the start of October, which means the start of my charity fundraising challenge.
For the next 31 days, I’ll be running 5K every single day — that’s 155km across October — to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK.
Why am I doing it? Because the numbers speak for themselves.
🔵 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
🔵 For Black men, that risk is 1 in 4.
🔵 More than 64,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the UK.
🔵 More than 12,000 men die from the disease every year.
🔵 Prostate cancer mainly affects men over 50, and the risk increases with age.
🔵 Having a father or brother who has had prostate cancer also increases your risk.
🔵 Most importantly, most men with early prostate cancer have no symptoms at all.
That last fact is why awareness matters so much. Don’t wait until something feels wrong before finding out about your risk.
We all have blokes we love — dads, grandads, husbands, partners, brothers, sons, uncles and mates.
So for October, I’m putting my trainers on and doing 5K a day, every day — rain or shine.
If you can donate, thank you. If you can’t, please share this post or simply have a conversation with a man you care about.
Help me help the blokes we all love. 💙
