[17th July 2025]
We’re proud to share that our fabulous Trustee, Steve Simmonds, is taking on a unique and demanding challenge to raise money for PRDA — and he’s doing it with strength and purpose!
From Sunday 3 August, Steve will spend the week bench pressing 60kg for 22 sets of 22 reps — that’s a total of 484 reps! — one for every letter in Pelvic Radiation Disease.
Steve has suggested a donation of £22, which could cover the cost of one of our Out and About Toolkits — practical packs that help people living with PRD boost their confidence and independence.
Whether you’re living with PRD, know someone affected by PRD, or just want to support a fantastic cause, we’d love your help cheering Steve on and spreading the word.

Thank you, Steve, for your incredible commitment — and thank you to everyone who supports his amazing effort.
