A group of family members from Bridlington are hoping to raise hundreds of pounds for a cancer charity by running various distances every day throughout January.

Thomas Boyes, along with relatives Aaron Boyes, Darren Boyes, Nicola Boyes, and Lillie-Mae Emmerson will all be taking part in Run the Month where they will each be running the distance of a marathon in January for Prostate Cancer U.K.

“ I personally am aiming to carry on after I reach a marathon distance and to run as far as I can within the month. We are kindly asking for donations no matter how small – 100% of all money raised will go directly to Prostate Cancer U.K. “ explained Thomas.

“Prostate cancer now affects 1 in 8 men in the U.K. That’s thousands of dads, partners, brothers, grandads, uncles and mates. I’m raising money to help fund life-saving research and support for men and their families affected by prostate cancer.” Thomas added.
