Pleased as Punch with Prostate Cancer Awareness Month Challenge. I cracked it, finding something everyday throughout March to raise awareness. So here are the accounts -
16
bags of rubbish collected
20
posters given out
132
leaflets distributed
1
brochure
Income
£55.05
Donations
£75.61 all heading for Prostate Cancer UK
Jeff Stelling was doing his own Awareness project, the Men
United March and I chose to send £20 of our donation to Prostate Cancer UK through this excellent, high profile event. I divided
the money between Jeff’s own collection and that of another participant, Derek
McNair. He wanted to get involved after his own diagnosis and subsequent
surgery. We totally understand the urge, it’s such a positive reaction to
facing this threat. Getting out there, spreading the word and using personal
experience to do so is such a powerful combinaton. Hopefully, your treatment
has done the trick.
Thanks to all those who so readily responded to my
efforts. I’m not mentioning names because I asked and every single person said
yes while others quite spontaneously stepped forward. It was a super experience for
me and I’m just hoping we may have improved someone’s future.
If only I'd got my act together by ordering more posters
in time! Hey there's always April.
