Bill Walker, organiser of the Jock Allan Prostate Cancer Charity Day, attended the launch of the Prostate Project's Man Van - and also presented the charity with a cheque from John O'Gaunt. Here is his account of the day:
On Tuesday 3rd
September I attended the launch of the Prostate Project Charity’s latest
achievement, the Man Van. A £200,000 mobile PSA testing facility. While I was
there, I presented a cheque for £5,300, the final balance of our Jock Allan
Prostate Project charity day last April. I also took the opportunity to meet
the relatively new Chairman of the Charity Martin Davies who was unavailable
for this year’s charity day but promised to be with us next year. I also met
many other key players within the charity including our good friend Colin
Stokes.

I also took the opportunity to advise them of the date that we plan to hold the 2025 Jock Allan Charity Day (April 14th) and express our hope of having the Man Van on site for that day offering “Free” PSA tests for all Club members (male of course) over the age of 40 years. The response was most positive.
In addition,
I obtained an advance copy of the charity’s 25-year anniversary newsletter. An
8-page account of what the charity has already achieved as well as its plans
for the future. It’s a real eye opener and we get a mention on the final page.
