Our friends over at Sharp are undergoing a mammoth task in aid of the Prostate Cancer Charity. For the next year, the folks at Sharp HQ will be putting themselves through various challenges such as The Great Wall of China Challenge, the 2010 London to Paris bike ride and the huge Race Across America (RAAM), to raise awareness and money for the charity. The RAAM itself is an arduous 7 day ride from the west coast of America to the east, covering 3014 miles, at an average of 430 miles a day. The team, including Sharp Managing Director Paul Molyneux (below), will ride for 24 hours a day, passing through 14 states and climbing for a total of over 100,000 feet.
Prostate Cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 35,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year in the UK and one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK. There’s not enough awareness about this illness. People need to spread the word so that everyone knows what to look out for and can hopefully get treated before it’s too late. For more information the disease, symptoms and treatment, take a look at The Prostate Cancer Charity website.
You can get involved by helping Sharp towards their goal of £50,000 by June 2010. Either donate what you can at www.justgiving.com/sharpUK, or, you can join Sharp at some of the challenges throughout the year. Check out their events diary to find out more.
