Great North Run and Prostate Cancer


The Great North Run is a feature of national life in the UK and many charities will be represented among the runnners. Prostate Cancer is there too. I’d like to highlight some of the heroic individuals to look out for today.

·         Paul, a Prostate Cancer sufferer, is wearing number 16374 on a white background.

·         Lyn will wear 46194 on a pink background.

·         Mark Sayers has a justgiving page.

·         Jake Gibson is there running to raise money to fight the cancer which took his grandfather’s life.

·         John Allan from Springburn will be there.

·         John and Sue Young from Gilling West will be running after John received treatment for Prostate Cancer 7 years ago.

·         Joe Walters grandfather and father had the Prostate Cancer diagnosis, his grandfather’s cancer was detected too late but his father’s has been treatable. No wonder he has been inspired to run today.

·         Anth, an established triathlete is wearing 5767 to raise money for Prostate Cancer via justgiving.

·         Survivor, Tom Barker, and fellow Scarborough Athletic fan Tom Carrington are both running.

·         Chris Petrie has signed up.

These were the names I was able to pick out on a quick search of the net. I apologise if you are not featured. Everyone taking part has put an enormous effort into getting there and your contribution will help to ensure more men survive the diagnosis of Prostate Cancer.

Time to post, they’ve just started

Good luck to all!
