Volunteers needed for Prostate Cancer UK

[undercovershrimper]

Hi All

The football leagues partner charity Prostate Cancer UK will be collecting before our match against Walsall on March 3rd. We are short of volunteers for the day so I am asking you my fellow shrimpers to get involved and do your bit to help beat a disease that kills 10,000 men a year in the UK. That's Fathers, Brothers, Sons, Uncles, Husbands etc. All we need is an hour or so of your time before the match and you will get a free ticket for the match in return. Come on guys and girls get signed up and make a difference

What a great post. I hope you find people to help mate. I wish I could but not available that day. All the best and the support I'm sure you'll get.

I echo those words, what a great idea to raise money and awareness for a truly worthy cause. I would be happy to join up, but I will only know closer to the time.

For those that didn't click on the link, in brief, I understand that not only will you receive a match ticket for the game, but you can also claim travel expenses & non alcoholic refreshments up to the amount of £15 to (Note: volunteers need to be over the age of 16), so for those hard up, young or old, & most importantly with a good heart that are willing to sacrifice an extra say 2 hours prior to kick off for a great cause, you should DM Undercovershrimper for more details.

Just a reminder to everyone to bring along your spare change before the game, there will be a group of us outside freezing our bits of collecting for Prostate Cancer UK

I would normally volunteer to help with these causes but unfortunately I am not able to this Saturday.
As you rightly say this disease causes many deaths and any promotion is good.
Everyone is now aware of breast cancer and cervical cancer affecting woman and is no a longer taboo subject but, that has only because of education.
Let’s do the same for men and promote this

Just posting to say that I have the flu today so, as I have to travel up from London, I'm going to do the sensible thing and stay at home.

I'm sorry not to be there; it means I kind of hope the game does get called off so I get another chance. But if it doesn't, I'll check out the calendar for other teams' games and aim to go to one of those to collect.

Good luck, everyone! And I'm so sorry I can't make it today.
