On Sunday 25 September, the Gtech Community Stadium provided the first stop on Prostate Cancer UK’s football march.

85 walkers took part in the 26-mile marathon walk through London.

The group began at AFC Wimbledon’s Cherry Red Records Stadium and stopped at Brentford, QPR and Fulham en route to Millwall – the journey’s final destination.

The stop at Brentford provided the organising team a base to provide refreshments and refuel the walkers, use the toilets in the West Stand and have a photo with the Play-Off final trophy.

Prostate cancer affects one in eight men in the UK. That’s thousands of dads, grandads, partners, brothers, uncles, sons and mates. By taking part in a football march and raising money, supporters will help fund lifesaving research into earlier prostate cancer diagnosis, better treatment and essential support services.

Prostate Cancer UK Chief Executive Laura Kerby said: “Since 2016 our football-themed walks across the UK have seen supporters, clubs and football personalities unite brilliantly against the deadliest opponent of all, prostate cancer.

“One man dies every 45 minutes from prostate cancer. It’s the most common cancer in men. But everyone who has embraced these mega marches, including the brilliant Jeff Stelling, has allowed us to raise a game-changing sum of money and make massive progress in our goal to make this a disease that men and their families no longer fear.

“In Greater Manchester, on the South Coast, across the West Midlands and through London, we will continue to proudly walk side by side in our ultimate quest, to fund more ground-breaking research and work towards a screening programme, to catch prostate cancer early and save lives. Together, we can beat prostate cancer.”
