Chilterns Prostate Cancer Support Group (CPCSG) would like to thank the WWFC Ex-Players association for a tremendous donation that will allow over 120 men to receive a free PSA blood test this October at the Wycombe Art Centre on Saturday 26th October.
Colin Smith of the WWFC Ex-Players arranged, via the staff at the Wycombe Hospital Urology ward, how best for the donation to be used in the ongoing challenge of raising the awareness of Prostate Cancer (PCa). This will be beneficial to helping CPCSG with its role of raising awareness, support in the community and the provision of free testing for men who may otherwise not be aware of any symptoms or effects of Prostate Cancer.
Barry Sarl, Chairman of CPCSG commented, “I would like to place on record, on behalf of the group, this tremendous donation by WWFC Ex-Players Association and the help by Colin Smith in arranging for the donation to be passed on to us. The Associations Chairman, Alan Hutchinson will present the cheque on August the 24th. Alan and his team are pleased on behalf of their members to be able to support CPCSG in their work of raising awareness of Prostate Cancer. The earlier it is detected the better the chances are of treatment and saving men’s lives. This funding will help in ensuring some 120 plus men will receive early information regarding possible Prostate Cancer and in turn will save lives”.
Barry added “We would also like to thank the staff at the Urology department for their support in nominating us and the incredible work they do every day in saving lives and ensuring PCa treatment is delivered with care and utmost professionalism”.
CPCSG will be presented with the cheque on the 24th August at the Wycombe Wanderers v Rotherham game.
