My charity this year is Prostate Cancer UK. This is a charity that will be well known to many members and is prominent in sporting circles. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2019. Thankfully I had successful, if rather unpleasant, surgery in June of that year and while there is a significant chance that I will require further treatment in the future I am currently free of any evidence of cancer.

So Prostate Cancer UK is a charity that is personally very significant. Prostate cancer is a frighteningly common disease, apparently 1 in 8 men will suffer with it at sometime! Consequently many other members will have had to deal with it and inevitably it will affect more in the future. The good news is that thanks to charities like Prostate Cancer UK who support R&D to improve diagnosis and treatment, outcomes for men with prostate cancer are ever improving.

So Prostate Cancer is a charity that is hugely relevant to the demographics of the golf club, I know that as always members will generous in support. In advance, thank you
