Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. My colleagues and I will be taking part in the summer wolf run to raise vital funds for this amazing charity that supports local men diagnosed with prostate cancer. As a prostate specialist nurse I am passionate about this charity & the care & support it provides to men and their families at diagnosis and throughout their cancer journey.

PROSTaid Charity:-

Our WorkAs a voluntary team comprised principally of prostate cancer sufferers, their families & friends and members of the University of Leicester Hospitals Urological team in the East Midlands Prostate Cancer Area we fund three local PROSTaid prostate cancer nurses in the East Midlands, two  based in Leicester, and one we have just started  funding  a PROSTaid prostate cancer nurse at Northampton General Hospital .We fund more prostate cancer specialist nurses  than anywhere  else in the NHS !!.  The cost to fund this new Northampton nurse to the charity over three years will be £68,000! We raise public awareness of the disease locally, offer vital support and befriending for patients with the disease by men who have prostate cancer.We provide five Support groups throughout our area, to give support to local men newly diagnosed and treated and to patients with advanced prostate cancer. We fund new innovative treatments, tests and equipment.
