Another part of the Foundation’s annualized programme’s is the Walk, Jog and Cycle for Prostate Cancer programme aimed at creating awareness
on the debilitating effect of prostate cancer. The day culminates with free prostate cancer screening for men held at the venue of the event.
In 2012, there was a remarkable 200% increase in the number of men who were screened. We are happy to report the Foundation’s avowed
commitment to further deepening this awareness about this dreaded disease, especially knowing that it is one that can easily be treated if
detected early. As usual, novelty matches were played and staff took to the streets across Africa to raise awareness.
