What a way to mark #InternationalMensDay
Many years in planning with the prostate cancer research & clinical community-congratulations @matthew_hobbs for your tireless pursuit of the TRANSFORM trial.
2 years ago I said this xitter.cf/matthew_hobbs/status/1… about @ProstateUK 's commitment to generate evidence that will allow screening for prostate cancer. I'm beyond excited to reveal the first details of the trial that will get us there: TRANSFORM prostatecanceruk.org/researc… (1/3)
An inspirational day and a privilege to march alongside @JeffStelling to honour Bill Turnbull.
Thank you to everybody who walked to raise awareness and funds for vital prostate cancer research.
And to @GenesisCare for their generous support.
It’s #ThrowbackThursday and we're looking back on @JeffStelling’s Football March ⚽
The event was held earlier this year in honour of the late great Bill Turnbull.
If you joined us, please share your highlights below ⤵️

“Don’t wait like I did - check your risk.”
One year on from his passing, Bill Turnbull's legacy lives on in the thousands of men he inspired to check their risk and get an early diagnosis.
Let’s honour Bill’s legacy together. Let’s #BroadcastItLikeBill: bit.ly/3OVc4B6

Dark Knight actor Colin McFarlane has revealed he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
The 61 year old told #BBCBreakfast he currently does not need any treatment, but had this advice on #BBCBreakfast

It's #MensHealthWeek and I'm supporting @ProstateUK to bust some myths and misconceptions about prostate cancer. The most common cancer in men starts in a place half know next to nothing about. It's time to change that. Visit Prostate Cancer UK's website to find out more.
12,000 men die of prostate cancer every year- it doesn’t have to be this way.
Please take a look, check your risk and spread the word.
🤔 “What on Earth is a prostate?!”
❌ “Umm...ahhh....I don't know sorry!"
The most common cancer in men starts in a place half of us know next-to-nothing about. It’s time to change that.

It was great to meet England coach, Gareth Southgate, at last night’s LMA End of Season Awards.
Big thanks to Gareth and @LMA_Managers for their amazing support this season.

🧵 We could be one step closer to a UK screening programme for prostate cancer.
Organised screening could cut deaths by 20%, but until recently the drawbacks outweighed the benefits.
Our research has led to new scans and safer biopsies, meaning 67% fewer men experience harm.

This heart-wrenching story shows why we can’t accept the huge, unfair North-South divide in prostate cancer diagnoses.

Shocking #ProstateCancer health inequality data. Every man should get an equal chance of a cure. We’re committed to improving awareness and working with the NHS in the communities most impacted.
Breaking: New data shows a huge North-South divide in prostate cancer diagnoses.
There’s huge variation in the likelihood of men being diagnosed too late for a cure. It ranges from 1 in 8 in London to more than 1 in 3 in Scotland.

Wonderful to walk with the legend Ron today - who now has raised £22k for prostate cancer. Thanks so much #MenWeAreWithYou
It was a privilege to join @wwfcofficial to honour Bill Turnbull. #MenWeAreWithYou

This is Karl whose life @billtu saved. Karl had Stage 3 #ProstateCancer - didn’t know but had similar symptoms to #BillTurnbull and got himself checked.
He is here, like many others, because of that.
If you do one thing today - take the risk checker on the
@ProstateUK website x
Shame he’s a Wolves supporter but I still love him. My Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer 4 years ago - without the work of @ProstateUK we might not have been lucky enough to spend today together. #OdetoDad

Curious who is on the other end of the line?

Did you know 129 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every day in the UK?
We're raising money for better prostate cancer screening: help us at bobwillisfund.org/.
Thank you @bobwillisfund for your invaluable partnership and support. #MenWeAreWithYou
With your support, we've been able to give three grants to organisations helping to further our mission in memory of Bob: @ProstateUK, @space2grieve and @goodgrieftrust.
Thank you!👏 🏏
