LX Club is a Hockey Club for over 60's men. By the age of 60 significant numbers of males will have developed some evidence of the disease, with most diagnoses occurring between the ages of 60 and 80. In fact almost all men will have prostate cancer by the age of 80. A diagnosis is not necessarily of immediate concern as most cancers grow very slowly and may cause no harm during a man’s natural lifespan. However, some are more aggressive and the earlier they are discovered the better. The Prostate Project Charities aims are:

• To raise awareness, particularly amongst men, of the existence of prostate cancer, its symptoms and its potential adverse effect

• To encourage wider recognition of the symptoms of the disease and swifter action in seeking GP’s advice

• To fund state of the art equipment and specialist staff to support Urologists in achieving early diagnosis and rapid treatment

• To push forward the boundaries of knowledge about prostate cancer by initiating a world class programme of research

• Having co-funded the building of a world-class model NHS Stokes Centre for Urology at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, to​ ensure the Centre attracts high calibre specialists and technicians and has the most advanced equipment, and to improve access to the PSA blood test via the innovative ManVan.
