DIY for Prostate Cancer 2026

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

This September, at 75 years young, I'm challenging myself to swim 10,000m to raise funds for prostate cancer awareness and support.

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. Six years ago, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Today, I'm proud to say I'm six years in remission, and I know firsthand how important early detection, treatment, support, and research are for men and their families facing this disease.

I've also had the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors for the past five years, which has given me an even greater appreciation of the life-changing work being done in our community.

My goal is to raise $1,000, and I'd love to see 100 people sponsor me for just $10 each. If you're able to give more, that's wonderful, but every dollar makes a difference.

Please support me as I dive into this challenge and help raise vital funds for a cause that has had such a profound impact on my life.

Thank you for your generosity and encouragement.
