Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

**“My name is Dave Young, and in 2024 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Hearing those words was one of the scariest moments of my life — but I was one of the lucky ones. My cancer was caught early, thanks to a simple PSA blood test. Because it was found early, I was able to get the treatment I needed before it spread, and today I’m here to tell my story.

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to raise awareness about prostate cancer and the importance of early PSA testing. Far too many men put off getting checked — either because they don’t know what the test is, or they think it won’t happen to them. The truth is, prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, and catching it early can make all the difference.

I’m now dedicating my time to spreading the word and raising as much money as I can for Prostate Cancer UK, a charity that supports men and funds life-saving research. Every pound raised helps more men get the early diagnosis and treatment they need.

If my story can encourage even one man to get tested sooner, then it’s worth it. Don’t wait until it’s too late — speak to your GP and ask for a PSA test. Early detection saves lives. Let’s stand together and fight prostate cancer.”**
