I’ve just written this article on #prostatecancerscreening following the National Prostate Cancer Audit state of the nation report being released last week runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/10/12/p...

Day 1 of October challenge complete and 5km all run with no walk breaks which is the first time for a long time. If anyone can donate I’d really appreciate it tackleprostate.enthuse.com/pf/move-the-...

A short video about my October fundraising challenge that starts tomorrow raising funds for Tackle Prostate Cancer This is the giving link and I’d be greatly appreciative of any donations. tackleprostate.enthuse.com/pf/move-the-... The challenge terrifies me as the last 9 months has been grim!

Had my big jab this morning and already feeling the side effects. It’s my 39th and I hope to have many more, every 12 weeks. For those that don’t know, this drug chemically castrates men by removing testosterone that feeds #prostatecancer It works but the impact is grotesque!

Think it's about 7.5 years since I met Tony when he launched the first 5k Your Way - Move Against Cancer initiative in the North & he's become a great friend since then. A tireless fund & awareness raiser for #prostatecancer this is his latest endeavour all while living with terminal cancer

I’m taking on a big challenge in October to raise money for @TackleProstate and support more men and their families living with #prostatecancer I’m trying to run 5km, move 10,000 steps or cycle 10km every day. Please donate tackleprostate.enthuse.com/pf/move-the-...

I met the main man at Tour De 4 today

Since I started to live with incurable cancer it’s always been a challenge to set targets. My initial prognosis wasn’t great and it seemed unlikely that I would see my then 3 year old Grandson become a teenager. Well, today he is 13 so I wrote a blog! runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/08/21/t...

I’ve written another blog. It’s partly about the mental struggles of living with stage 4 cancer but it’s mainly about our holiday in Madeira with lots of lovely photographs and videos. runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/07/27/g...

Brilliant to take part in this podcast with some amazing oncologists

My article about prostate cancer screening and looking at harms of overtreatment Vs harms of late diagnosis, has had hundreds of views. Had lots of positive comments about its validity and no challenges on its accuracy or content. runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/05/29/p...

I wrote an article about the National Screening Committees decision not to recommend #prostatecancerscreening I’m very happy to hear the views of any experts to correct anything I’ve said or misinterpreted runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/05/29/p...

I’ve written a blog about the hits and misses of living with incurable prostate cancer as well as highlighting some of the things I’ve gained but wish I hadn’t. Why did I write it? Because I want people to read it and make sure they don’t end up like me runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/01/22/t...

I started my blog was because I wanted my Grandchildren to know who and what "grumps" was when I've gone. I decided to chronicle the key aspects of my life in Reviews of the previous year and 2025 was epic in many ways so here's my review of 2025. runningintocancer.co.uk/2026/01/07/r...

My live interview on Granada News last night is about 10 minutes into this www.itv.com/watch/news/w...

🚨The latest National Prostate Cancer Audit Newsletter is OUT, you can read it here www.natcan.org.uk/news/npca-ne... Packed full of news, information and links! Please share it widely. @natcan-news.bsky.social @hqip.bsky.social

Back at The Christie Hospital today for my latest prostate cancer test results. After having been given 2 years to live 8.5 years ago my PSA is still undetectable and cancer completely stable. We live to fight another day. KOKO my friends.

#ProstateCancer screening debate is raging. I’ve tried to capture the nuances of the debate in this blog. I accept that I’m biased towards screening but I’ve tried to reflect both sides. runningintocancer.co.uk/2025/11/02/t...

Final few tickets available for the Paint Altrincham Blue comedy night supporting @ProstateUK and @TackleProstate. Early bird tickets sold out. Buy yours from Eventbrite using this link www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/pab-comedy...

Well Ethan bagged a PB at Wilmslow parkrun of 25:25 as a young 12 year old so I’m now living vicariously through him 😂😂😂🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️

Delighted with my presentation at #ESMO25 for @Medscape. It’s such a privilege to be given the patient voice and make the voices of the thousands of men that @TackleProstate support, heard. Now though I found a beer garden! Won’t be here long cos it’s freezing!

Delighted with this article published by Tackle Prostate Cancer about the harms of late diagnosis of prostate cancer tackleprostate.org/harms-of-lat...

Fitting that my article tackleprostate.org/harms-of-lat... on the harms of late diagnosis of #prostatecancer is published today as we’ve been at Westminster for the launch of Prostate Cancer Research’s paper Prostate Cancer Screening: The impact on the NHS which has met with cross party support.

Absolutely brilliant gig from Kane Brown in Manchester tonight. Definitely in my top 3 of the year and maybe top

Sorry to see @bearlypolitics.co.uk leave Twitter but glad you are still here in this much calmer place. Twitter has indeed become a racist hell hole!

Hiked Kinder Low via Jacob’s Ladder. Really tough hike and struggled on the climb!

I was 35 with no symptoms and no family history. A high PSA led to a biopsy and a low-risk diagnosis. I spoke with six urologists. Most recommended active surveillance. 1/3 #ProstateCancer

After feeling awful yesterday I felt great today and so pushed it quite hard to do my fastest time on this short route on the 6th consecutive day of running. Rest day from running tomorrow as I’m going hiking in the Peak District 😂😂

ust nearly burst into tears in an exercise class because I was struggling horrendously with fatigue and couldn’t do a lot of the exercises like I normally can. But it’s okay, I got the good cancer! #prostatecancer Still managed a mile plod very slowly!

Delighted to feature in the Autumn edition of @icr.ac.uk Search magazine. Research done by ICR has kept me alive for 6 years beyond my prognosis so far. Any donations to support future research to keep me going gratefully received donate.icr.ac.uk

Decided to do a short “effort” run this morning. Only a couple of miles but it finally felt like I was running rather than jogging! Still plenty of room for improvement though. New knee holding up well!

45 years ago today we got married. 8 years ago I was told I only had 2 years to live thanks to stage 4 #prostatecancer and I didn’t think we’d get to 40 years let alone 45! Now I’m optimistic we’ll get to 50! Don’t think we’ve changed a bit in 45 years 😂😂😂

8.25 years ago I was told I might only have 2 years to live thanks to incurable prostate cancer and I didn’t think I’d get to see my then 3yo grandson Ethan become a teenager. Well he’s 12 this month and I’ve just been told that my PSA remains undetectable! Still beating the odds, a very lucky man!

My friend Paul Dennington, also living with terminal prostate cancer, is walking 588 miles through his life across the country in 36 days. I joined him today for one leg and that’s enough for me. No idea how he does it but any donations gratefully received www.justgiving.com/page/paul-de...

Classic!

I recorded an episode of the #CancerCanDoOne podcast. We talked about life when you've been diagnosed with prostate cancer including its impact on life, family, masculinity and sexuality. Do have a listen and please share www.cancercandoonepodcast.co.uk/e/tony-colli...

I recorded a podcast that was a tough conversation and very personal about post #prostatecancer impact, sex, sexuality and life open.spotify.com/episode/4GrM...

Delighted to be featured with some very inspirational runners in this months Runners World

Plod in the rain! Good job I enjoy running in the rain! Not letting the new knee or stage 4 cancer stop me.

My grandson doing only his 2nd ever parkrun and making it look easy in 25:30 and beating his old Grumps by 306 places! Mrs C 2nd in her age group with the old fella lagging behind but with a post knee replacement and Warrington parkrun PB!

I’ve updated my blog with a piece about how much movement matters, particularly for those living with and beyond cancer. It’s a bit of a travelogue of our recent trip to Slovenia with a sub plot around exercise and the photo’s are stunning. runningintocancer.co.uk/2025/07/29/m...

Stunning day hiking in the Peak District. We live in the most wonderful country

Just back from a slow 3km run and thought I’d do a wee video wishing my friend Kev Webber (whose been living with stage 4 prostate cancer for 10 years) good luck in his ultra marathon in Andalucia where it’s currently 40c+

It was a warm & sweaty #parkrun followed by a fab coffee & brekkie as Tony says. And it was well before the watershed for the chat which led from a misheard drink order to the intimate impacts of having prostate cancer..... We were crying laughing. (It's also important men are aware!)

Such a brilliant morning at 5k Your Way at Wilmslow parkrun this morning. Such a brilliant initiative supporting those living with, beyond and impacted by cancer via parkrun and exercise. Wonderful chat over coffee afterwards

Can integrating MRI into #ProstateCancer screening reduce unnecessary biopsies? An international team including TRANSFORM researchers @londonprostate1.bsky.social, Prof Shonit Punwani, and Prof Anwar Padhani review the evidence in @euplatinum.bsky.social Grab a ☕ and read: doi.org/10.1016/j.eu...
