34 men in the UK will die from prostate cancer this Father's Day. And every day after that.

In the UK, a man dies from prostate cancer every 45 minutes - that's roughly 34 men a day. Together, we can help save lives by spreading awareness, empowering men and offering early-detection tests.

This year alone, we've already given over 500 men life-saving PSA tests. Dozens of men who didn't have any symptoms at all have been flagged to go to their GP for further tests. None of that would be possible without your support.

This Father's Day, we're asking you to consider giving less than the price of a pint each month to help us continue the fight against male cancers 👇

Can you help us out for a few hours on Father’s Day?

We still need a few more volunteers for our Plymouth Breakwater swim on the 21st June.
You don't have to get wet, but will help sign in swimmers, and hand out medals at the end.

It's a really uplifting way to spend a morning, and it's thanks to our fab volunteers that these events can go ahead.

If you'd like to come along and lend a hand, email David on [email protected]

Thank you 💙
