Wolves join fight against prostate cancer

Wolves and Julen Lopetegui’s first-team squad are helping the fight against prostate cancer by encouraging supporters to join Prostate FC.

Launched on Friday by Prostate Cancer UK, Prostate FC is the biggest team in football taking on the most common cancer in men, which effects one in eight.

Prostate FC is free to join (click here) and allows people to access lifesaving information about prostate cancer and find out how you can help save men’s lives.

As a member of Prostate FC, what you do is up to you. From raising awareness in your community to taking on a marathon walk to fund lifesaving research, it is just important to be involved in the fight.

Sky Sports broadcaster Jeff Stelling, who has walked 33 marathons for Prostate Cancer UK since 2016 and raised around £1.4m, said: “I’m delighted to sign for the biggest team in football, Prostate FC, Prostate Cancer UK's supersized squad of clubs, fans, managers and football personalities working together across the football industry to help beat the most common cancer in men.

“One in eight men will get prostate cancer. Increasing to one in four amongst black men. That’s a dad, son, brother or partner. That’s our teammate.

“I’ve met those men and families affected and those scientists that are shaping those changes. We’re coming together to raise awareness of a disease that kills one man every 45 minutes and raise vital funds for lifesaving research.”
