Kym Marsh says it ‘broke’ her family to find out about father’s prostate cancer

Chiara De Biase, fundraising and health strategy director at Prostate Cancer UK, said: “We’re so grateful to Kym, Carmen and the Marsh family, who have selflessly raised vital awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK for many years.

“Dave’s legacy lives on in their campaigning to tell more people about the UK’s most common cancer, because it’s a disease that is curable if found early.

“Thanks to the incredible efforts of Carmen and our amazing cast of 230 TCS London Marathon runners from across the UK, the funds raised will go towards supporting game-changing research like our TRANSFORM trial.

“That will help us build a safe and effective screening programme for all men, to catch prostate cancer early and save thousands of Dads, brothers, sons and mates.

“We wish all our remarkable runners taking part on Sunday good luck.”
