#MaleCancerAwareness Month is Almost Here!
June is our Male cancer awareness month and along with our month long campaign to get more cancer information out to more people nationwide, we are asking you to help us by raising funds with events in your area.
Cancer now affects 1 in 2 of us and is still increasing, we need to get more awareness out there so more people understand what signs and changes they are looking for.
More awareness equals more lives saved. Please help us reach more people.
Heres just some of our own events you could get involved with at school, college, University or your workplace.

Please sign our Prostate Cancer Petition
We need your help!
There are over 30,000 men every year that are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK. Approximately half of all men over 50 have some cancer cells in their prostate and 8 out of 10 men (80%) over the age of 80 have a small area of prostate cancer.
We need to get all men over 50 tested for prostate cancer using the PSA test with a mandatory test. So EVERY man has the oppertunity to get the test.
This will potentially save thousands of lives so please sign the petition here and get your friends and family to do it.
Thank you in advance

Remember Your Loved Ones With A Memory Bear
Making the Bear
Sitting making the bear gives loved ones the chance to reflect and remember happy times together and have a keepsake to treasure
You would choose a bear of your choice which will be delivered to you. By making the bear in comfortable surroundings and in your own time the bear will become unique and treasured to you and your loved ones.
The bear has its head already filled which leaves the arms, leg as and body empty to be filled with personal possessions or small items of loved ones clothing. We can also supply a small bag of filling if required to help fill the arms and legs.
The purpose made opening allows you to place filling and personal items in an inner material bag. It can then be sealed with a one way zip making it safe and secure. Velcro then closes over to hide the zip. Should you need to reopen the bear then this can be done using two pairs of pliers and revealed again using the same method.
This is a lovely way of keeping treasured items safe for yourself, family, friends and loved ones.
