The Prostate United Story

It all kicked off in 2018. Two football club staff members, Stephen Gilpin and Ross Burbeary, set themselves a challenge after Stephen lost his grandad to prostate cancer. Their mission? Get moving every day and raise money to stop men dying from the most common cancer in the UK.

What began as two mates taking on a challenge has grown into something much bigger. Football clubs across the country joined the squad. Staff, supporters, managers and players all pulled on the fabled Prostate United shirt and got behind the cause.

Since then, Prostate United has become one of football's biggest grassroots fundraising movements. Thousands of people from clubs across the beautiful game have walked, run and cycled together, raising more than £1 million.

Today, Prostate United is proof of what football can do when it comes together. Rivalries are left at the turnstiles. Fans unite. Clubs unite. Communities unite. One team. One goal. To save men's lives. 

And this October, we're calling you up to the squad.

We’re all one team, united. While this is a virtual challenge, we want everyone to feel connected with the Prostate United community. Join us on Facebook, X, WhatsApp & Strava to see how others are doing, share your progress, and keep up to date with all things Prostate United. There’s nothing better than cheering others on, and no greater motivator than being cheered on!
