Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal announces testing days at Burnley Football Club and Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports Club
The hugely successful Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal is to hold another two testing days in Burnley.
The first one takes place next weekend (Saturday, March 7) at Burnley Football Club from 11am to 2-45pm. The second is on Saturday, May 30 from 11am to 2-30pm at Belvedere and Calder Vale Sports and Social Club in Holden Road.
The appeal, which has saved numerous men's lives since its first testing day was held at Turf Moor in 2015, was awarded charity status in 2019.
Prostate cancer saw Barry relinquish his chairmanship at BFC but he remained as director to see all the years in the Premier League with Sean Dyche. No longer on the board, Barry is still a loyal fan. In recent years Barry has devoted his time and energy to his appeal and proceeds from his book ‘Starting From Scratch’ are being donated to the BKPCA.
Offering prostate cancer testing at venues throughout the UK, the charity’s mission is to check as many men as it can through a blood PSA test.
A raised PSA level could be a sign of prostate cancer, but can also be a sign of other conditions that are not cancer including an enlarged prostate or urinary tract infection. Based on recent data prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. There are no national screening events for prostate cancer, which is why the charity host events at sports grounds nationwde, where men are more likely to attend.
