Brave the Shave for Prostate Cancer Coventry

Raising money for Prostate Cancer Support Association (Central England)

We are a patient led support group active in Coventry and Warwickshire. We work to raise awareness of the risks of prostate cancer and to promote early diagnosis. We also support men and their families and carers to live well as possible with prostate cancer. We hold Prostate Health Awareness events to encourage men aged 40 and over to have a simple PSA (blood) test to assess the health of their prostate and, where necessary, take further action via their GP. Early prostate cancer often has no symptoms and so the aim is to catch it in these early stages when it can be treated and cured. We also meet regularly to support men and their families/carers who are affected by prostate cancer. We work closely with clinicians and nurses at UHCW and the George Eliot hospitals to make these meetings as relevant as possible. An essential aim is to demystify the condition and its treatment to allow people to get on with their lives as positively as possible. We also encourage activities such a walking football - which is amazingly popular.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. In 2022 alone, 64,000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer - some too late.

1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

More than 12,000 men die every year from prostate cancer.

Every penny of your donation will go to Prostate Cancer Support Association (Central England), who provide support for men and their families who are affected by prostate cancer, and stage PSA testing events around Coventry and Warwickshire.
