Me and my Dad are taking on the Run 50 Miles in October Challenge
I’m not a runner, sometimes a golfer. I’m a typical dad: a bit overweight, a bit out of puff, better at the school run than an actual run. James is 9 and still thinks I can do anything.
This October we’re going to prove him half right.
Together we’re taking on an accumulated 50-mile running challenge — not one heroic day, just miles stacked up through the month. Short loops after school. Weekend park jogs. Whatever we can manage without breaking him, or me.
We’re doing it for prostate cancer.
1 in 8 men in the UK will get it. That’s dads. Grandads. Uncles. Mates. Men who still think they’re “fine.” Early checks save lives, and research only happens if people like us put one foot in front of the other and ask for help.
Our target is £150. That’s not a fortune. It’s a few coffees from friends, a fiver from family, a tenner from someone who knows a man this disease has already touched.
If we look ridiculous in our trainers, good. If James has to wait for me at the lamppost, even better. He’s learning that you don’t have to be fit, fast or fearless to start. You just have to start — and do it for someone other than yourself.
If you can sponsor us, share this, or simply tell a man you love to check his risk, you’ll have already helped.
We’ll do the miles, rain or shine.
You help make them matter.
Thank you from me and James.
