He pointed out that one in eight men will get prostate cancer and, sadly, one man dies of prostate cancer in the UK every hour.
Steve added: "It's such a worthwhile cause and to raise such a significant amount of money for the charity is so heartening. As well as money, we hope we have raised awareness of the disease, too."

We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. Prostate cancer is not always life-threatening but when it is, the earlier you catch it the more likely it is to be cured."
