I'm taking on the Run 50 Miles in October Challenge

Did you know that 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?

I’m taking on the Run 50 Miles in October Challenge for Prostate Cancer Research to change this and help make a difference to men and their families who have been affected by prostate cancer.

Please support me during this challenge by donating what you can to Prostate Cancer Research. Every donation you make helps advance our mission to create a world free from the impact of prostate cancer.

Thank you for your support! 💙🧡

50 Miles in October for Prostate Cancer - From Never Running to Running for Mickel

Friday 25th Sep
I've never been a runner. Ever. 🥴

If you'd told me a year ago I'd sign up to run 50 miles in October I'd have laughed. I was struggling with my own health, trying to lose weight (16lbs down in 10 months!), dealing with  ongoing pain.

But then my friend's husband got diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Suddenly it's not about me, or being unfit, or being embarrassed to run in Oldham in my old trainers. It's about him. It's about her. It's about every family getting that phone call.

So I'm doing it. I'm running 50 miles in October for Prostate Cancer UK.

That's about 1.6 miles every single day in October - doesn't sound much until you realise I currently get out of breath running upstairs

I'm going to ache. I'm going to moan. I will probably walk a lot of it. But I'll do it, because if he can face treatment, I can face 50 miles.

I know money is tight for everyone. If you can spare £2, £5, even just a share - it means the world. Every pound goes to research and support for families like my friends'.

And if you see me shuffling around Oldham looking bright red - give me a wave.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
