K. Burrett Cleaning Services Ltd. is raising funds to support the Southend based charity Prost8. 

Paul Sayer and the Prost8 charity have been a great support for us. In 2019 we discovered that our MD Ken had prostate cancer, and Prost8 helped us to be referred for pioneering "focal therapy" under Professor Hashim Ahmed at Charing Cross Hospital. He thankfully remains fit and healthy after almost 2 years.

Ken's diagnosis prompted our Director Tracy's husband Barry to get tested. We sadly discovered he also had prostate cancer, and the Prost8 charity once again helped us, along with Professor Hashim Ahmed. We are all extremely grateful. Barry also remains well after completing the one-day treatment.

Nicky Hogg (Ken's son-in-law) has graciously decided to run on our behalf, as an experienced marathon runner. The London Landmarks Half Marathon is on the 1st of August 2021. We will all be cheering him on!

In the next 10 years, more than 500,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer here in the UK. Right now even those with low-level treatable cancer will be given the same invasive, life-changing treatments as those with advanced cancer - unnecessarily. Up to 120,000 of those men could have better, minimally invasive treatments. but the rollout of this in the NHS is being measured in years, not months. So those thousands of men will all have lifestyle damaging treatment, when there are better outcomes available. Prost8 UK is raising the funds to buy, donate and deploy an initial 6 focal therapy suites into strategic, forward-thinking NHS hospitals across the UK to accelerate access to this life-changing, and life-saving, treatment at a cost of £3m.
