QPR supports Prostate Cancer UK match day Share article:
QPR are hosting a match day in our game against Derby County this weekend to support charity partner Prostate Cancer UK’s bid to stop prostate cancer being a killer.
The leading men’s health charity are asking you to text HOOPS to 70004 to donate £5 to support them in their fight against prostate cancer, which is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK.
Most men with early prostate cancer don’t have any symptoms, which is why Prostate Cancer UK is encouraging men most at risk to speak to their GP. This includes men over 50, while black men and those with a family history of the disease should consider speaking to their doctor earlier, from the age of 45.
Getting a new job at a special needs school changed Dean Papali s life - leading to a lifetime career and a family. Dean, 35, met his wife Niki 13 years ago when they were both working as mentors at Haybrook College special needs school in Burnham. Dean said: I started as a mentor in the classroom at the school and became passionate about it and went on to get my qualifications as a teacher. He has now been a teacher there for seven years, while Niki is the careers advisor. Now they are undertaking another project together away from the school - raising money for two favourite charities by taking part in the Marathon Month challenge with the help of their eight-year-old son Tyler.

A Crouch End football team is continuing its charity fundraising despite the Covid-19 lockdown bringing a halt to the grassroots game.
Crouch End Vampires, who play at Muswell Hill Playing Fields, raised £665 for Muswell Hill Soup Kitchen before Christmas after 23 players clocked up an impressive 874 miles as part of a charity run spanning the length of the UK.
Club secretary Daniel Alldis told the
Ham&High: The idea behind the fundraiser was decided upon just before the second national lockdown. During this time the club was unable to play competitive fixtures and therefore wanted to keep fit and promote physical wellbeing for our members, whilst doing some good for a local charity.

Prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK, according to research. Data analysed by the charity Prostate Cancer UK shows it has overtaken breast cancer to be the most commonly diagnosed form of the disease, with 57,192 new cases in 2018 – the most recent figures available. Worryingly many have attributed a type of plastic which could increase a person’s risk of developing the deadly disease. Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a common building block in resins and some types of plastic and is said to increase a person’s risk of prostate cancer.
