Prostate Cancer Research Foundation launches the 'Give a few bob' campaign

Despite the statistics, there is low general awareness of prostate cancer in the UK – and men need to wake up to the risk factors and the symptoms. The ‘Give a few bob’ campaign hopes to dramatically increase awareness and raise money for the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation.
