Fundraising for Prostate Cancer Research Foundation
Story
Hello!
Thanks for visiting my donation page! If you are not already aware, I will be running the London 10k on 11th July 2010 in support of 'The Prostate Cancer Research Foundation'.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Prostate Cancer Research Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Here are some facts:
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. A quarter of all new cases of cancer diagnosed in men are prostate cancers.
- The strongest risk factor for prostate cancer is age, with very low risk in men under the age of 50, but risk increasing with age thereafter.
- Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in UK men, after lung cancer.
- More than three-quarters of men diagnosed with prostate cancer now survive the disease beyond five years. In the 1970s is was less than a third. Much of the improvement in survival can be attributed to the increased use of PSA testing in the UK which has led to the diagnosis of many prostate cancers which would have gone undetected. So you can see, Prostate Cancer is as serious as any other cancer out there, and anything we can do to help with beating it is more than enough.
Thank You for taking the time to donate, your awareness and generosity are much appreciated!!
