In solidarity with Bob: raising funds for Prostate Cancer UK

At Man V Fat we have all stood to benefit from Bob's support, his guidance, and his patience as we slowly remove non-vital items of clothing to try to cheat the weigh in. Those of us who have got to know him through the club will know that he is a deeply selfless and caring man, and one who is more motivated and energised than any of us have a right to be.

He has admitted he is going to be a rubbish patient while he is treated for prostate cancer, doing the most he can to keep himself busy during the time he should probably be recovering (the guy is planning to write a dissertation from his hospital bed???). With that proactivity in mind, and with lots of us wanting to find ways to show solidarity with him while he is getting the treatment he needs, we're setting up this fundraiser to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

We will all have our own experiences with cancer - some of our teammates are survivors and those on their own treatment journeys, and others will have close loved ones who have been impacted directly by it. It can be easy to feel helpless in the face of it, but supporting groups like Prostate Cancer UK brings us all closer to a world with better testing, better treatments and better outcomes for those around us who are affected.

More information about Prostate Cancer UK: Prostate Cancer UK is here to stop prostate cancer being a killer. One man dies from prostate cancer every in the hour in the UK and deaths from prostate cancer are set to soar over the next decade. By finding better tests, better treatments, better prevention and better support we aim to dramatically reduce the number of men dying from prostate cancer.
