Forum Vice Presdent David Boyden raises over £4000 for CHAPS charity

David and Philip completed 6 whole rounds of golf or 108 holes in 16 hours teeing off at 4.43am and finishing at 8.46 pm on 5th June. They walked 30.65 miles in the wettest weather for 3 months and all in aid of raising funds for CHAPs – a men’s health charity concentrating on Prostate Cancer Screening. Currently there is no national screening programme and the charity seeks to fill in this gap. Testing is now a simple blood test and not the dreaded finger up the backside! However currently still 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime. It is the second commonest cause of cancer deaths in men. With their endeavours, David and Philip have raised in excess of £4,000 with more still to follow. Updated information will be provided once a final total has been calculated. The funds raised from the marathon will be earmarked for prostate cancer screening in Northeast Essex with the aim of targeting, amongst others, socio-economically deprived groups as well as the black community. The black community are more likely to be affected by this disease with 1 in 4 getting prostate cancer in their lifetime. You can view David & Philip Boyden’s interview with Professor Chris Booth on You tube:- https://you.tube/W2T1XxHW_L0                 A fantastic personal effort in fundraising.
