"But it doesn't have to be this way.

"This October, I'm joining Prostate United by walking, 5km every day with my fellow football fans to help save men's lives.

"Dad is also going to try and walk each week as well after his treatment.

"Sponsor me to help fund lifesaving research for men and their families affected by this disease.
