The Long Run 2025

0%

I’m making prostate cancer history.

That's a Wrap

Hi All, that brings us to the end of this epic run - or in my case walk. Target of 72 km achieved. And thanks to my marvellous sponsors also hit  my target of $1000 raised.
That makes it all worth the effort.

So there were just over 3000 participants who raised collectively well over $1.2m for Prostate Cancer Research Funding. Well done folks. 

Mr Consistency

Well at this stage of the exercise I have surprised myself with how much I have actually achieved, Given that I am somewhat handicapped by tending to walk on one leg, the distance covered thus far is quite remarkable.
Not only that but my sponsors have not yet abandoned me as I thought they might.
Tough bunch, my sponsors. Hopefully they will be with me to the bitter end.

Timewise I am Half Way There

It is the 18th today and to my surprise half of the Month of Awareness is over. Also to my surprise 80% of my distance target has been met. Considering the pain barrier that has to be pushed through each day, if I may be so bold, it is incredible. But enough about me. Now it is over to you my lovely donors. Today is Double Dollar Day so every Dollar you Donate becomes $2, $100 becomes $200 thanks to our Corporate Sponsors. Donate all you can afford! Thanks heaps. Rod

This Long Run is problematic for me.

This Long Run is problematic as my personal health has been less than fantastic the last couple of months. I have in recent times had a number of cancer lesions removed from my right leg, two of which required a sizable Skin Graft and it is being very slow to heal. In addition I had another lesion removed from my right ankle, also taking forever to heal. The good news is we think we got all of the cancer removed and there is no malignancy (fingers crossed.)
As if this was not sufficiently confronting and worrisome, my PSA test from 2 September shows my PSA which has been static at about zero for 11 years, just doubled. So off I go to the Urologist for further investigation next month.
All of that to one side, I am still determined to meet my commitment to The Long Run 2025, so please Donate as much as you can afford. Thanks heaps, Rod

I’m taking on The Long Run

This September for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, I’m giving it all I’ve got by taking part in The Long Run.

Prostate cancer is Australia’s leading cause of cancer, with 72 men newly diagnosed every day.

Will you donate today to raise funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and help end the pain of prostate cancer? Together, we can make prostate cancer history.

Thank you. 💙🙏
