Marathon Support to the Chairmans Charity

By Andrew Large • January 20, 2026

So, in the words of Jim Stewart, why would a 67 year old who hasn't even completed a "couch to 5k" run in a Marathon, let alone the Madrid event, one of the hilliest on the circuit? Jim has chosen to take up this challenge to run and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK, this is the Kingsmen Chairmans Charity this year and so we are all throwing all of our support behind Jim. Here's why Jim chosen to run and raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK "I recently sat in my GP’s office after a PSA test. My results were ‘normal,’ yet I was told not to take 'comfort' in that. The PSA is only an indication, not a diagnosis, and it left me with a chilling realization: 'normal' doesn’t always mean 'safe.'" Prostrate Cancer UK's mission is: Prostate Cancer UK has a simple ambition - to stop men dying from prostate cancer. Through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and support, we will stop prostate cancer being a killer. Jim has set up a justgiving page which can be found at: https://www.justgiving.com/page/kingsmen-jim Jim also has his own Marathon Blog: https://marathonfundraiserforprostatecancer.blogspot.com/p/home.html Please visit these pages and if you can support Jim in this wild endeavour then please do so.
