Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign
Sat, Nov 9th 2024 at 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Results of campaign after our distributing information in High Street, Ingatestone.
Report on Awareness Day - Sat 9th Nov 2024
Our thanks to all club members and Friends of Ingatestone Rotary for their time in chatting to passers by in the High Street.
The general consensus was that many men are aware of the PSA test. Some have been either treated for Prostate Cancer or are having regular tests, but some men will be requesting a PSA test.
Sir Chris Hoy's sad news has definitely created more awareness about PC & PSA tests.
We consider our brief campaign as a success.
