Cancer My Arse
Our story
An ordinary bloke. An extraordinary mission.
Hi, I'm Kev, an ordinary bloke from Stoke with an extraordinary mission. Once fit and seemingly healthy, my cancer diagnosis came out of nowhere. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone.
Now living with Stage 4 cancer for the second time, and facing what’s termed a “terminal” diagnosis, I’ve made it my purpose to spend the rest of my life fighting this brutal disease, so that future generations never have to fear the words, “I’m sorry, you’ve got cancer.”
Grit, heart and humour
Why Cancer My Arse?
Since my own battle began with colorectal cancer in 2020, the name Cancer My Arse felt like the perfect fit. As Snoopy wisely said, “Every time you find some humour in a difficult situation, you win.” And that’s exactly what we’re doing, taking on cancer with grit, heart, and a healthy dose of humour.
Over £200,000 raised together
Since October 2024, Cancer My Arse has raised over £200,000 for cancer research and support, thanks to a community of fighters, survivors and supporters who refuse to give up.
Among them is my friend and fundraising legend Ben Young MBE, who rallied his yachting community for an epic 930km cycling challenge.
