A GLASGOW woman is calling on men and their loved ones to join her and take part in a virtual fundraising challenge for Prostate Cancer UK.
Suzie Scott, from Anniesland, received the devastating news that her husband Tam has incurable prostate cancer this year.
March the Month is a virtual fundraising charity for Prostate Cancer UK where participants complete 11,000 steps each day throughout the month, to represent the more than 11,000 dads, partners, brothers, grandads and friends who die from the disease each year. "I also plan to join my friends and their dogs for part of the challenge to help get the steps in, which will be really fun too.
However, early diagnosis can save lives so Prostate Cancer UK is encouraging men across the country to use its 30-second online risk checker.
