Taking it to the top in cancer awareness mission

Pilates teacher honours father who died from prostate cancer

AIMING HIGH: Emma Davies

MUM of three and Pilates teacher Emma Davies from Haringey in north London will be climbing Ben Nevis on Friday (September 30) to honour the memory of her late father who passed away from prostate cancer. 
Emma will also be using her climb to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Charity.
She said: “Having experienced such a great loss I know what impact this disease has on men affected and their families. This has given me the drive to challenge myself and to raise awareness for the Prostate Cancer Charity.”
Emma will be flying to Scotland for her ascent of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain. The climb is expected to take about nine hours. Although the climb means much to Emma because of her family bereavement through Prostate Cancer, she is extending her awareness campaign to support men and their families living with the disease. Emma’s climb is raising funds for the Prostate Cancer Charity. The cancer disproportionately affects black men.
Emma recently appeared on Tropical FM radio to share her family experience with Prostate Cancer to a wider audience and to help raise awareness of the importance of early testing, diagnosis and treatment.
