We are incredibly proud to announce that the final amount raised by the Silloth Rugby Club and Silloth on Solway Golf Club Prostate Cancer Support Charity Day is an amazing ยฃ9,000.
ยฃ6,000 will go directly to the dedicated volunteer team based in Stockport, who travel throughout the country raising awareness of prostate cancer and providing heavily discounted PSA tests to men in local communities.
At our event in Silloth, we were delighted to provide 140 men with a PSA testโan outstanding achievement that could help save lives through early detection.
The remaining funds were used to provide prizes for the golf competition on the day, with the balance being retained by Silloth Golf Club Captain Martin Slack to continue raising funds for Prostate Cancer Support throughout his Captain's Year.
This successful event was the result of a fantastic partnership between Silloth Rugby Club and Silloth on Solway Golf Club. Special thanks go to James Lettice BEM, who was instrumental in organising and delivering the event, with invaluable support from Allan Oliver, Johnny Martin, Martin Slack and Phil Ormesher, Chair of Prostate Cancer Support, together with the volunteer PSA testing team from Stockport and everyone who gave their time to make the day such a success.
A truly special mention must go to Hayward Tod Estate Agents and Brockbank Solicitors. Their exceptionally generous support and donations played a major part in making this event such an outstanding success, and we are immensely grateful for their commitment to supporting prostate cancer awareness and our local community.
