Prostate United Challenge

[Claudio Fannieri]

Hi everyone, you may remember last October I participated in the Prostate United Challenge of running 5km each and every day throughout October, this year in my infinite wisdom I have signed up again and will be running 31 x 5km this October. 
 

In will be running for team Leicester City to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer Uk which is an amazing cause.

 

Last year this forum was a great source of support and I was shocked by the level of engagement I received, it was really humbling how many people reached out with their own personal experiences.
 

Please see the link to my just giving page if you can spare a donation, if not please just give this a thread a follow and give us a like or comment to help me through the challenge.

I'm taking on Prostate United again this October, where I will complete a 5km run each and every day of the month to raise much needed funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK which is an amazing cause. I will be running for team LCFC and would appreciate any messages of support, donations and any sharing of my challenge on social media from the Foxes Family. 
 

if there is anyone who has links to the club, could you please try and raise awareness so they can share on social media to show support and hopefully reach a wider audience.

1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer. If you're over 50, or you're black, or your dad or brother had it, you're at even higher risk.

Just as an update I have emailed the club via the Help and press email addresses asking if they would support me by promoting the challenge I am undertaking to help raise awareness amongst the clubs fans. Email sent on Monday evening so hoping to receive some positive feedback/response in coming days.

Ahh FT I have a prostate story for you.

 

Went to the doctors for two reasons, father in law got prostate cancer so all the men in family went to get a check up, I also had piles, so I wanted some cream or something for that.

 

However upon meeting the doc I said about father in-law and doc said, "youre under 40 so we don't do prostate exams,  OK see you later"

Now I hadn't asked about the piles but it occurred to me if I asked him now it would seem like I'm just after showing him my arsehole.

So 3 years later I still have piles.

As a regular 3am pisser in his 50s, I've sponsored this endeavour.

Have you had a PSA test?

 

I'm 54 and got around to having one about 12 months ago. A regular middle of the night pisser, and my dad had had prostate cancer in his 60s.

 

Now I am prostate-less! And off for another PSA test in an hour or so, just to monitor it remains low 🤞🏼

No.  Should do, in the circumstances.
