Play football to help beat cancer UK

[Guest guest]

CHARITY bosses are appealing for fundraisers to play 5-a-side football

in aid of prostate cancer research.

Organisers of Prostate Cancer Awareness Week (March 19-25), want as many

people as possible to take part in The Real Man Cup at Powerleague

5-a-side Centre, in London on Saturday, March 10.

The Prostate Cancer Charity aims to recruit between 50-80 teams from

across the UK to raise £5000 from the event to help fund the Charity's

research programme and its support and information service.

The team entry fee is £120 (non refundable) which includes a £70

donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity.

This money is crucial in helping the charity offer its many services.

Its nurse-led Helpline takes more than 14,000 calls a year from men and

their families and many need follow-up info to help them come to terms

with their diagnosis and make treatment decisions.

Elaine , director of fundraising at the charity said: " The Cup is

the latest phase of charity's Real Men Know All About it' campaign which

urges men to learn more about prostate cancer, which kills 10,000 men a

year. "
