My story

 
Hello,

Thank you for visiting our  fundraising page.  http://www.justgiving.com/midisgang2009

For Prostate Cancer Bristol  Urology Institute.

Please sponsor us online,  £2.00 - MORE IF YOU CAN !!!  It All Helps.

I know you all have charities that are special to you, and with the economic climate, etc.So I understand if you cannot, I do not want to offend anyone!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me:

You all know how passionate I am about this charity........Midi was sensible and went to the doctors........

You see, just over a year ago I lost my husband to prostate cancer, at the age of just 51.

He was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer in his 40s. He had no proven symptoms, he engaged in most sports and ate a healthy diet.

Having become a widow in my early 40s, I've decided to channel my energies to helping make other men and their families aware of prostate cancer and the fact that a simple PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test could save their lives.

Latest research shows that if men are checked regularly it could reduce the number who die from prostate cancer by more than half.

I'm now working as a volunteer alongside the Bristol Urological Institute (BUI) at Southmead Hospital and supporting Run for the Future, an annual 5km run organised by Bristol Rotarians.

It is a sad fact that 30,000 men are diagnosed every year in this country with prostate cancer and over 10,000 die from the disease, equal to the number of deaths in women from breast cancer. But prostate cancer research receives only 25% of the funding spent on research into breast cancer in women.

There is a diagnostic test available to screen for prostate cancer but currently only 8% of men request this potentially life-saving test.

Bristol Urological Institute will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
If you would prefer to send cheque please email may for details.

So please sponsor us now.   Many thanks for your support, the list of runners for this years Mid’s gang is growing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
