SOMERSET band The Wurzels are supporting this year's Run for the Future event in aid of the Bristol Urological Institute Prostate Cancer Care Appeal.
Band frontman Tommy Banner has been a sufferer of prostate cancer and backs the event, which is taking place on September 16.
To date over £210,000 has been raised of which £100,000 contributed towards the new building at the institute at Southmead Hospital, Bristol.
This is where Tommy Banner had his operation.
The first Run for the Future which took place on Bristol's Downs in September 2006 was inspired by a need to raise local men's awareness about Prostate Cancer to the level of women's awareness about Breast Cancer.
Rotary in Bristol took up the challenge and developed and organised the event as a 5km "fun" run, jog or walk for all the family to raise money for the appeal.
