June 2007, Pants in the Park
The third annual Pants in the Park on Father's Day was a huge success
with almost 200 people running or walking 5km around Battersea Park
in aid of the Prostate Research Campaign UK.
Thank you to everyone who took part, it was wonderful to see so many
people of all ages, with so much energy and enthusiasm, helping to raise
awareness of prostate diseases. All participants joined in the spirit
of the day and wore their fancy dress pants on the outside of their
running clothes, and there were some great outfits to be seen.

March 2007, Vintner's Hall Success
Over 100 people attended a very special fundraising event on Tuesday
20 March at the spectacular Vintners’ Hall in London. The Give
or Let Die gala dinner and auction was hosted by Scott Cormack
of KPMG who gave a tremendous amount of time, effort and support
to making this event a huge success, and raising vital awareness
and funds in the fight against prostate cancer.
The evening raised over £72,000 net profit for the charity and
we would like to thank everyone who attended, those who donated the
superb auction items and those who so generously bid for them. We would
also like to thank Vintners’ Hall for donating the use of the
venue without charge.

October 2006, Annual Luncheon
Our tenth annual luncheon, held at The Dorchester, was a huge success
with well over 300 supporters attending. Christopher Matthew, the
author of 'Now we are sixty' made a most amusing and well received
speech. Nicholas Bonham helped to make what was one of the most memorable
and successful auctions to date bring the total raised for the day
to a fantastic £40,000.
Thank you to everyone who attended the lunch and helped to raise funds
to stop prostate diseases ruining lives. View

September 2006, West Highland Way

took more than 30 walkers on a 100 mile trek in six days from Glasgow
to Fort William. They all successfully completed the challenge and
have raised over £200,000 in sponsorship. View

A special 'thank you' to everyone who took part in the walk and to all
their friends and family who so generously sponsored them.
August 2006, Walk the Wall
Two groups of supporters helped to raise considerable sums of money
for the Prostate Research Campaign UK by walking
along the spectacular Hadrian's Wall. The first group walked the
full route, coast to coast across Britain, in only six days, whilst
the second group completed Wander the Wall, which is a shorter route,
in four days.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the two walks and to all
their friends and family who so generously sponsored them. We
have already raised £25,000 but we anticipate the walks raising
more as donations continue to be received. View

June 2006, Pants in the Park
The second annual Pants in the Park was a huge success with almost 200
people running or walking 5km around Battersea Park in aid of the Prostate
Research Campaign UK. All participants joined in the spirit of
the day and wore their fancy dress pants on the outside of their
running clothes, to help raise awareness of prostate diseases. It
was a great family fun day out with beautiful weather, face painting
and a steel band.
Thank you to everyone who took part or supported the day. We still have some more donations to come in but we have already raised over £22,000. View pictures.
