Over £70,000 towards research and treatment for prostate cancer was raised from the Kenwood Piddle Dash, a 10-kilometre sponsored walk in North London on Sunday.

So named because an early sign of prostate cancer is a dash to the toilet for very little output, the walk was organised by the Muskateers committee, together with the immediate family of Michael Dobrin, who died in December aged 70 after a lengthy battle against the illness.

Originally, the target was £25,000 for research at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot.

However, the response to the event exceeded expectations with 270 people walking.
