I'm helping make love go the distance.
100km non-stop for Prostate Cancer Awareness
My name is Jason (aka Britto) and I’m a Prostate Cancer Survivor.
In early 2019 my life was inadvertently tipped on its head when I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. I was only 43 at the time and had no idea what to expect.
Luckily, the disease was in a treatable stage with excellent prospects of cure, and I was able to beat the disease following Radical Robotic Prostatectomy surgery.
However, for me, this was only the beginning of my fight with cancer.
The reason the long run is a 72km challenge, is because 1 in 5 men will suffer from anxiety and depression as a direct result of their diagnosis, however 72% of them will not seek help for it!
A staggering 3,500 men each year suffering and not reaching out for help!
Unfortunately, I fell into that percentage and paid a heavy price, despite eventually reaching out and getting the proper help required.
I’m here today thanks to the support from family, great friends and experienced professionals and I’m passionate about doing my bit to raise awareness and much needed funds to help others through that post-cancer period.
I’m also living proof that life goes on and in fact it can flourish!
That’s why this September I will be taking my personal challenge to the next level.
On the 29th September I will be walking 100km non-stop to raise funds and awareness of Prostate Cancer – something that’s lefts its permanent mark on me!
There are so many great causes to give your hard earned to these days, and thousands of everyday Australians doing it really tough, so if you can donate a little to this cause it would be very much appreciated.
If you can’t donate, hopefully, I can ask you to take the time to share this with others, and we can raise some funds and most importantly awareness of this disease.
To the men that may have read this far, next time you’re with your doctor, I implore you to have your PSA tested. To any ladies that stuck with me through to this point, encourage the men in your life to do the same – it could save their life!
Thanks in advance – Britto
