"RESEARCH is the only route to DEFEAT Prostate Cancer"
The Red Sock was set up by Cardiff businessman Keith Cass to aid Cancer Research Wales in clinical research towards the treatment and research of Prostate Cancer.
The Red Sock's aims:
* To provide FUNDING FOR A CLINICAL RESEARCH FELLOW to work under the direction of Professor Mason, (Professor of Clinical Oncology at Cancer Research Wales) and his team at Cardiff University.
* To “RAISE THE AWARENESS” of Prostate Cancer in Wales. “EVERY MAN should have access to the treatment that is best for HIS cancer and HIS lifestyle.” Leaflets and booklets about Prostate Cancer need to be more readily available across Wales.
* To provide A LINK to those seeking where to get ADVICE & GUIDANCE on Prostate Cancer as well as information on events and how to become involved. The number of men needing care for Prostate Cancer is certain to rise in the next few years as a result of an ageing population.
* To improve and provide BETTER FACILITIES, information and meeting places for men and their families to discuss any queries they may have regarding their symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and lifestyle.
