Luckily he has made a full recovery. We were all very frightened at the time and the worst  thing was that we weren&#8217;t able to do anything about it. That&#8217;s why we  (my wife and our families) decided to raise money for prostate cancer  research. I am very grateful that my father survived and I want to raise  as much as I can in order to donate it to <strong><a title=\"Prostate Action Homepage\" href=\"http:\/\/www.prostateaction.org.uk\/\" target=\"_new\">Prostate Action<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h1>How you can help<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/UliKilian\" target=\"_blank\">Donating to Prostate Action!<\/a> (this opens a new browser window)<\/li>\n<li>Tell friends, family and <strong>your boss<\/strong> about this page<\/li>\n<li>I need a proper costume to run in.
