One week to go until the U's help save lives as part of Prostate United...
Join Cambridge United staff members in taking on a daily fundraising challenge this October to help beat prostate cancer.
Since 2018, hundreds of football club staff have come together as Prostate United - a daily fitness challenge that has raised over £500,000 for Prostate Cancer UK to help beat the most common cancer in men.
Last year, the U's absolutely smashed all expectations when it came to fundraising - raising over £5000, the fifth highest total out of 83 teams across the Premier League and EFL.
From 1 October, Clubs from all across the UK football pyramid will be hitting the road - either on foot or on a bike - racking up the miles to raise money to beat a disease killing one man every 45 minutes; a dad, uncle, brother or best mate every half of a football match.

Prostate United founders, Ross and Stephen said, "Prostate United has become much bigger than just a charity challenge; it’s become a community. We’re trying to bring football - from grassroots level up to the Premier League - together, with one aim of raising as much money as we can for the amazing Prostate Cancer UK.
"If we can achieve £1 million, that will be an absolutely monumental effort. The money that we’re raising is going to improve prostate cancer research and the support and help that men living with the disease are receiving.”
You’ll be joining a fundraising squad of staff from over 60 clubs, including a host of first-team managers and coaches who have also laced up their running shoes or jumped on a bike to take on the challenge.
Depending on which works best for you, you can choose which daily challenge and distance to do:
- Walk 3km or 5km every day
- Run 5km or 10km every day
- Cycle 10km or 25km every day
