My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Prostate cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

I'm one of the lucky ones. I had a brush with prostate cancer and am alive to tell the story thanks to a simple test. I was fortunate enough to have a great GP that ticked the box to have a simple blood test. The test results showed a slightly elevated PSA result. I decided to see a specialist for peace of mind (rather than wait another 12 months for another blood test). Long story short, 4 months later, I had surgery to remove my prostate. 40% of it was cancerous. If I'd waited a month or so it might have been a very different story. And the surprising thing was that I wasn't even 40 when I got that first blood test. Most GPs would not have ticked the box for the blood test. Thinking back, the signs were there. I just didn't think I could possibly be susceptible at my age.

So my motivation is quite simple. We need to listen to our bodies and as Men, we should not take the traditional "She'll be right" approach. A simple conversation with your GP and a blood test is all it takes to have peace of mind.....it could also save your life, regardless of your age.
