Burnley prostate cancer charity 'back in the game' with testing day return

The October test day will be held at Burnley Golf Club, Glen View, and will be for members only.

Mr Barry Kilby said: “We have chosen to make the test day a members only and not a public event as this will help us to be able to control the event more effectively with the many government stipulations we will have to put in place.

"This will allow us to plan for more public events to hopefully be held this year. We are really pleased that we will be able to continue to raise awareness of the disease and save lives in the not too distant future”.

Alan Green, Burnley Golf Club secretary, said “We are really pleased to be hosting the BKPCA testing at Burnley Golf Club. This life saving opportunity for our members is not to be missed and we are very grateful to Barry Kilby and his team for choosing us.

"Several members' lives have already been affected by prostate cancer and this is a great chance to detect early and save lives."

The Covid-19 crisis has hit the charity hard with the ever popular annual bike ride postponed until next year, and various other events having to be cancelled.

A BKPCA spokesman said: “Our lottery is a great way to support us! For just £10 a month, you could be in with a chance of winning up to £5,000!! Plus there are many other cash prizes to be won.

"The money raised through the lottery goes back into testing men for prostate cancer. Not only could you win, you may just save a life while you are at it."

"If you would like to sign up to the BKPCA Lottery please go to www.paymymembership.co.uk/BKPCA."
