Giant Axe will be host to a Prostate Cancer checking day

Lancaster City Football Club and Dollies in the Community have announced that prostate cancer tests will be available at Giant Axe.

These tests, which involve 'a pain-free blood test', will take place at the club's ground on Saturday, May 13th between 11am and 3pm.

The Dolly Blues join a number of EFL clubs club’s that are using their stadiums as bases for the tests that are part of the The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal.

These clubs include Championship leaders Burnley, Charlton Athletic and Carlisle United.

80 test places have been allocated to Giant Axe. Those being tested will be asked for a donation of £10 on the day to go towards the cost of the test, which is £25.

Director Dave Evans said: "We are delighted to be able to host this event. Here at the club, we know how important it is for people to check themselves, get tested, and set aside any fears they have to look after themselves. If having this testing facility here helps with that, then that’s just fantastic. Cancer in all its forms can go unnoticed for weeks, months, even years in some cases, and prostate cancer is so much easier to treat if men catch it early. Dave added, “We hope people make use of it, getting tested really can save lives."

Places need to be booked in advance, which can be done here: Book a test
