Way back in July I surprised 4 members from Southport
Cycle Club when they took a break by suddenly appearing out of thin air to give them my Know
your Prostate Cancer leaflet. If you recall, Mike suggested I get in touch with
the Club to arrange a visit to their Monday night Forum. Not one to pass up on
the opportunity to spread the message I contacted Allan who managed to find a
gap in their busy schedule and tonight I received a very warm welcome from the
members who were gathered. I spoke very briefly explaining what I did and why
then passed around a box of Know your Prostate leaflets. I was delighted that
26 copies were taken and Colin (President), accepted a poster to display. I
hope none of them ever need the information but at least they’ve got it.
Like so many clubs and societies this one has not escaped
the impact of the disease having lost a dear friend. Delighted to meet Chris
who was inspired to complete the EndtoEnd ride in 2013 in aid of Prostate
Cancer UK. That’s 1100 miles John O Groats to Lands End, the long way round.
Superb effort. Prostate Cancer can sneak up on any man, if we let it. It’s so good
to find people with a special talent or interest adding their weight to the campaign
helping to put a halt to men losing their lives and families having to live on
with the most painful memories.
Thanks to all, however, I need to give special thanks to
Allan who set up the visit, squeezing it into the Club’s very busy schedule.
Hope the auction went well.
I felt so welcome I’m sure you would too so if you are
