Prostate United 2026

Non-Member
Yep sorry it’s me and that time again 🤣

I’ve now officially signed up for Prostate United 2026.

This will be my fourth consecutive yearrunning 5km every day throughout October in support of Prostate Cancer UK, but it will also be my final Prostate United challenge.

Before I start, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the Leicester City family. Over the last three years, the generosity and kindness shown by so many people on The Roof and across the wider Leicester City fanbase has honestly been overwhelming. Whether you’ve donated, shared my fundraising page, sent a message of encouragement or simply asked how the challenge was going, you’ve helped me more than you’ll ever know.

Thanks to your support, alongside my family, friends, colleagues, clients and Team Leicester City, we’ve raised more than £13,000 for Prostate Cancer UK. This year, I’d love to finish by taking that total beyond £20,000.

One of the highlights of last year’s challenge was having the privilege of running alongside Leicester City legend and First Team Coach, Andy King. It was a brilliant experience and a reminder of what makes our club so special. Whatever happens on the pitch, Leicester people have always looked after one another.

After four years, I feel it’s the right time to finish while I still have the motivation to give it everything. October has become a month completely dominated by running, fundraising, aching legs, early mornings and trying to convince myself that setting the alarm before work is somehow a good idea! Also after a heart to heart with my family they were very open and honest about how difficult it is for them to see the toll it takes on me, both physically andmentally, alongside my job and the everyday challenges modern life throws at us.

More importantly, I want to finish on a high and, hopefully, leave having made a lasting contribution to a cause that means so much.

The reason I keep doing this is simple. Every 45 minutes, a man loses his life to prostate cancer in the UK. If this challenge encourages just one person to understand their risk, speak to a loved one or get checked earlier, then every mile will have been worthwhile.

If you’re able to support me one last time, I’d be incredibly grateful. If not, simply sharing the page or helping spread the message could make all the difference.

Thank you once again for everything you’ve done over the last three years. The Leicester City community has been a huge part of this journey, and it would mean the world to have you alongside me for one final October.

In will share a link to my just givingfundraising page a bit nearer the time.

Now let’s see if this 52-year-old body can survive another 155 kilometres… and hopefully Leicester can make the month a little less stressful than lastseason!


Up the Foxes. 💙🦊
 
The page is live… one final push. 🖤🩵

I’ve officially signed up for my fourth and final Prostate United challenge, 5km every day throughout October for Prostate Cancer UK

The support over the last three years has been incredible, helping us raise more than £13,000. This year, I’d love to finish the journey by taking that beyond £20,000.

At 52, I’m not sure my legs will thank me for another 155km in October… but some things are worth the aches and pains! 😂
As with every year I will be proudly representing team Leicester City Football Club

If you can spare a few pounds, share the page or simply help spread the message, it would genuinely mean a lot.

One last October. Let’s make it count. 💙🏃‍♂️

A little favour from my fellow Foxes… 💙🦊

On 1st October, I’ll start my fourth and final Prostate United challenge, once again proudly representing Team Leicester City and running 5km every day throughout October for Prostate Cancer UK.

Over the last three years, the support I’ve received from the Leicester City fanbase has been genuinely incredible. Donations, shares, messages and encouragement from people I’ve never even met have helped us raise more than £13,000.

For this final year, I’ve set myself one last ambitious target – to finish having raised over £20,000.

So I’m asking the Blue Army for one final push. 💙

If you can donate, brilliant. If you can share the page with other Foxes, that would mean just as much.

31 days. 155km. Team Leicester City. One final October.

Let’s make it count. 💙🦊

Up the City!

The 80s called… they want their shorts back. 😂🏃‍♂️

Sadly, the hair isn’t real. The challenge very much is.

This October I’ll be pulling on the running shoes for my fourth consecutive #ProstateUnited challenge, representing Team Leicester City Football Club and running every single day throughout the month to raise money and awareness in the fight against prostate cancer. 💙🦊

After three years, plenty of kilometres and more questionable running photos than I care to remember, we’ve raised over £13,000 for Prostate Cancer UK

This year is my fourth and final challenge, and I’ve set myself one last big target:
To take the overall total beyond £20,000.
That means I need your help.

If this photo has made you laugh, cringe, question my fashion choices or simply wonder how anyone ever ran in shorts that small… please consider making a donation. 😂

Every £5, £10 or £20 genuinely adds up. And if you can’t donate, a like, comment or share costs nothing and could help this reach someone who can.

Behind the dodgy mullet and frighteningly short shorts is a serious message: raising awareness, encouraging men to talk about their health and helping fund the fight against prostate cancer.

One final October.
One final push.
Let’s see if we can smash £20,000 together. 💙

Thank you as always for the incredible support.

⏳ Two weeks today… and we go again! 💙🏃‍♂️
In a fortnight it’ll be Day 1, Run 1 of Prostate United 2026 — and the start of my fourth and final October of running every single day.

At this point, I should probably know better… although I suspect my legs will be reminding me of that by about Day 10! 😂
Behind the running and fundraising, though, is a much more important reason for doing this.

Men’s health matters.

Too many men still put off getting checked, ignore changes in their body or simply don’t talk about their health. Prostate United helps get those conversations started while raising vital funds and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK.

If seeing an increasingly tired 52-year-old dragging himself out for another run encourages just one bloke to have a conversation, recognise something isn’t right or get himself checked, then every mile is worth it.

This is my final year, so I want to enjoy it, make it count and hopefully finish four brilliant years of support on a real high.

💙 The link to my JustGiving page is below. If you’re able to make a donation, no matter how big or small, it would mean a huge amount.

https://prostateunited.prostatecanc..._medium=FR&utm_source=dssb-EM&utm_content=MPC

And even if you can’t donate, you can still really help. Please like, share or repost this and help me spread the word. The further we can get the message out there, the more awareness we can raise, the more conversations we can start and, hopefully, the more support we can generate for this amazing cause.

Two weeks to go. The running shoes are ready. I’m not entirely sure the legs are… 😂💙

Bring on October. 🏃‍♂️

As part of my fourth and final Prostate United challenge, Leicester City have agreed to support by kindly donating a signed 2026/27 home shirt to help my fundraising for Prostate Cancer UK.

Rather than simply selling the shirt, I wanted to put an idea out there and see what people think.

I’m considering either a raffle or an auction, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to my Prostate United JustGiving page.

A raffle would give more people the opportunity to get involved for a few quid, while an auction could potentially generate more for the charity.

So, raffle or auction?

Ultimately, it’s about using the shirt to raise as much as possible for Prostate Cancer UK, while continuing to raise awareness around men’s health, prostate cancer and the importance of getting checked.

Hopefully we can turn a signed LCFC shirt into a decent amount of money for a cause that really matters. 💙

Please let me know what you think and share it around the LCFC groups and forums so we can get as many people involved as possible.
 
Less than one week and it will be October and the start of my Prostate United challenge, representing team Leicester City to run 5km each and every day of October to raise money and much needed awareness for Prostate Cancer UK

This is a disease that affects 1 in 8 men and takes a life every 45 minutes. Anything we can do to help increase testing, develop treatments and most importantly increase awareness and the need for men to get tested.

This will be my 4th year in a row undertaking this challenge and at the age of nearly 53 it will be my final one, so far I have raised over £13k and would love to go out in style by raising another £7k and smashing the £20k barrier, so I am reaching out to this wonderful community for one final month to follow, like, share, spread the word and if you can please make a donation to this wonderful cause by clicking the link to my just giving page 🖤🩵

https://prostateunited.prostatecanc..._medium=FR&utm_source=dssb-EM&utm_content=MPC

Thank you for all the amazing and wonderful support shown so far it is very much appreciated.
 
Happy Prostate United Eve, tomorrow the big day will be here, 31 days, 31 x 5km runs, 155km to help to raise much needed money for Prostate Cancer UK and also to continue to raise awareness about the dangers of Prostate Cancer but also the amazing progress being made in terms of testing, detection and treatment.

The very sobering facts are 1 in 8 men are affected by Prostate Cancer and this disease takes a life every 45 minutes.
This is why I am participating in this very tough but important challenge running as part of team Leicester City Football Club hoping to raise £7,000 this year to take my overall fundraising past the £20,000 barrier in what will be my final year taking part.

Please like, follow and share to help raise awareness across this community and if you can spare a donation no matter how small it all helps this wonderful cause.

Prostate United - Week 1 DONE! ✅
And somehow the legs are still working, the mullet is still magnificent and the 1980s PE teacher look is becoming increasingly difficult to explain to the neighbours. 😂

The numbers so far:
🏃 7 runs completed
💙 35.78km in the legs
💰 £1,958 raised towards my £7,000 target
🎯 24 runs and 120km still to go

Even better, #ProstateUnited has already raised more than £500,000 for Prostate Cancer UK in just the first week. Absolutely incredible.

1 in 8 men will be affected by prostate cancer.
A man dies from the disease every 45 minutes.

I just wanted to say a massive and heartfelt thank you to whoever made an incredibly generous anonymous donation to my Prostate United challenge this morning. 🖤🩵

I always try to personally thank each and every person who donates where I can, so I hope whoever you are, you get to see this message.

I also want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has donated, shared, liked or sent messages of support so far. I really cannot put into words how much it means to me.

These middle days of running 5km every day are probably the toughest, when the legs are tired and the finish line still feels a long way off! 😂

But the kindness, generosity and support you have all shown genuinely keeps me going.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I really am incredibly grateful. ❤️🦊
 
And that is run 16 complete and over halfway through this October’s Prostate United challenge, running 5km each and every day to raise money for Prostate United.

This disease affects 1 in 8 men and a man dies every 45 minutes because of Prostate Cancer. Here are the UK stats -

- 64,000 men are diagnosed with this disease each year

- Over 12,000 die of this disease each year

- Over 540,000 men are living with Prostate cancer in the UK

The support so far has been amazing over £3,400 raised, so please keep liking, following and sharing, and if you can spare a quid or two please make a donation by clicking the link to my just giving page.
