My motivation

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in late summer 2010 and placed on active surveillance until spring 2012 when I underwent a radical prostatectomy. The results were good and bad, the cancer at first appeared not to have spread from the prostate, however they found cancer in my lymphatic system. In January 2015 my PSA levels were rising rapidly and I was told I would probably not survive the year. However later that year I was offered the chance to join a drugs trial (the STAMPEDE trial). I was told that with luck if my body reacted well to the drugs it could extend my life by 5 or 6 years.As at October 2024 I am now the longest surviving member of Arm J of the trial.
Since 2011 Geordie Jim’s Boys have raised over £115,000 for charity, mostly going to Movember UK and Prostate Cancer UK but some to Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Cancer Research UK and local charities. I would like to think that the work we have done has also saved the lives of men I have spoken to and reached out to about prostate cancer. My sons and I were proud to be asked to appear in a Movember advert.
My pipedream was to get to £100,000 before I die but having surpassed that I'll just keep going.
PLEASE if you have read this and would like to help donate just £1/$1/€1 to me or the team at https://movember.com/m/geordiejim?mc=1 direct into Geordie Jim’s Boys Bank account 55-50-10 57125996

I'm trying to walk/limp/hobble (can't run) 60 m during Movember to highlight the 60 men/week who commit suicide (4 of 5 suicides are men). I'm hoping others might donate me a mile.

Thanks to you, more men can live healthier, happier and longer lives. To read about some of the projects you have helped to fund go to movember.com/impact

Look out for Platinum Club rewards coming your way and, in the meantime, I hope you have a great rest of the month.

This is my Mo for this year. you've never grown that in 10 days I hear you say! of course not. If I had shaved at the start of the month there wouldn't be anything visible until January. I have been growing this since July. I still need your support. Please help me save lives!!!

20 days into Movember and this is the best facial growth I can muster. It needs something to make it stand out. So every 2 days between now and the end of Movember I will take suggestions from whoever donates to me and endeavour to paint it that colour

A Great BIG THANK YOU to all the Geordie Jim's Boys team and everyone who has helped us raise £5651 this year. Businesses and individuals who donated prizes and people doing extraordinary things to raise money and awareness. Our little team is in the top 50 fundraisers in the UK, which I find both humbling and amazing, thanks to all who have worked so hard to make it happen. Since 2011 Geordie Jim's Boys have raised more than £56,000 for a number of charities, I am proud of you all.
