DIY for Prostate Cancer 2026

Will you support me this Blue September? Let's tackle prostate cancer together

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge, to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates. 

Here's the gameplan: 

About 739 blokes in NZ die from prostate cancer each year.  So I'm going to walk 100m for each of them, or 73.9km in a weekend.   I'll be yomping from Miranda to Thames on day-1, then Thames to Paeroa on day-2.  I'll be doing this on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September.

If you'd consider sponsoring me I'd be hugely grateful.  Even a couple of bucks could make a difference. 

Your support will help provide research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer, along with support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to.

Let's have a crack at beating this bastard.

PS - ignore the 'Most people donate $60' message from the website.   They don't.   Money's tight right now. Even five bucks would make a difference. 🙏

Long time no see cousin. Cancer sucks. Hard. I have had too many friends fighting it in their boobies and beyond recently. I’ve supported them and now it’s time to support the men a little. Best of luck with your venture.
