Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with one in eight men diagnosed in their lifetime. Prostate Cancer UK works tirelessly to provide support for patients and their families, fund life-saving research, and raise awareness about early detection.
Pennine Healthcare has been proud to support the charity throughout 2024, with the Christmas raffle being the final fundraising event of the year.
