Prostate Cancer UK march returns to London
Prostate Cancer UK is once again hosting a series of marathon marches this September as the football community unites against the most common cancer in men – and the event will return to London on September 25.
For a sixth time, the leading men’s health charity will visit football hotbeds and iconic venues across the nation, and is calling on fans to join four 26.2-mile walks across Greater Manchester, the South Coast, the West Midlands before the London finale.
London hosts the finale on Sunday, September 25, where AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium kicks off a day that will end at Millwall FC, long-time charity partner and the first club to wear the Prostate Cancer UK logo on their shirts back in 2013/14.
The walkers will also stop off at Premier League newcomers Fulham, and there will be other high-profile club stops along the way.
There are 38,269 men living with prostate cancer in London, including AFC Wimbledon supporter Kevin Webber, who has raised close to ÂŁ1m for the charity since 2014, and regularly walked alongside Jeff Stelling in previous football marches.
He said: “I’m really looking forward to joining another Football March, and it will be great to meet fellow football fans along the way.
“You’ll never take on an event quite like it. The mileage may seem daunting but the camaraderie along the way will sweep you along.
“As a man with incurable prostate cancer I know first-hand what this disease can do to families and loved ones, and I’m forever grateful for everyone taking on these marches – and supporting Prostate Cancer UK in so many different ways.
“Your support will help them achieve their long-term ambitions of a better test and a screening programme, so that hopefully my boys will not have to go through what I have.”
