My story

Why I’m Cycling the Month 💙🚴‍♂️

When I originally signed up to Cycle the Month for Prostate Cancer UK, I didn’t have a personal story behind my decision.

I chose the challenge because prostate cancer affects so many men, yet it felt to me like something we simply don’t talk about enough.

I wanted to do my small part to change that, raise some money and hopefully get a few more people talking about it.

Since signing up, however, this challenge has become much more personal.

I’ve recently become close friends with someone who has been through prostate cancer themselves.

Thankfully, they’re a survivor.

They’ve trusted me enough to talk about some of their experience—the difficult moments, the uncertainty and the very real fears that come with being diagnosed with cancer.

Hearing that from someone I now know and care about has changed the way I look at this challenge.

It has put a person behind the cause.

So now, every time I get on the bike this month, there’s an extra reason to keep pedalling.
