Story
Sign up to our 14,000 Challenge and help us raise awareness and vital funds for Men's Health in Hertfordshire
Research from Prostate Cancer UK has estimated that in the region of 14,000 men across the UK have gone untested for prostate cancer during the past 24 months as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Although referrals and treatment levels for most other cancers have now recovered or even risen above pre-pandemic levels, the number of missing prostate cancer diagnoses is growing. This is compounded by the fact that early prostate cancer rarely has symptoms that would prompt men to visit their GP.
We know that if diagnosed early prostate cancer is very treatable so our 14,000 Challenge aims to raise funds to pay for the Men's Health Champion who will help raise awareness of the symptoms and testing within the local community, as well as supporting men throughout their treatment.
If you are inspired, why don't you sign up and take on your own 14,000 Challenge and help raise vital funds to support our Men's Health Champion?
Whether it's 14,000 steps, push ups, lengths, keepie-uppies or kilometres cycled, every penny raised will help us support men's health projects.
