John Brodie

I’m taking on The Long Run

Hi, my name is John Brodie.  Every day 70 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, 72% of them will not seek mental health support during this difficult time. Yes, I was one of them.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2023 and that’s when my journey started. Foolishly, I did not seek support or discuss my situation with anyone apart from my doctors so for me it was a very lonely journey, which I do not recommend.

After the biopsy and PET scans I decided to go for Radiation treatment which commenced on 18^th March 2024 and finished 17^th April 2024. I have recently had a post radiation PSA blood test and I was pleased to be cancer free.

This September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, I’ll be helping go the distance for men with prostate cancer and their loved ones by taking on The Long Run – challenging myself to ride for 250km throughout September. 🚴‍♀️

By supporting my challenge, you will be helping fund groundbreaking Australian research into better treatments and care for men with prostate cancer.
