Supporters all over the country have been working hard to fundraise throughout March. A short film about one particular team of fundraisers, the M&S Prostate Marksmen, was shown during the evening which showed insights into their gruelling trip rowing the Atlantic. Key speakers on the night included Neil Fox and Baroness Royall who both told stories of how prostate cancer hit them 'Out of the Blue' and why they actively support the Charity. Owen Sharp, CEO, then updated guests on future plans and challenges the Charity face, as well as thanking guests for their ongoing support. The dinner was hosted by Global Radio's Susan Bookbinder.

All the guests who attended the Prostate Cancer Awareness Month celebration dinner in Scotland on Thursday 29th March at the Grand Central Hotel. The event revolved around the awareness theme, Out of the Blue, and was attended by key supporters of The Prostate Cancer Charity. Guests heard from Owen Sharp, CEO, who spoke of the year's successes in Scotland and the future plans of the Charity. Supporters also viewed a short film presenting the stories of men affected by prostate cancer and how they had utilised the Charity for information and support. The highlight of the evening was most definitely the comedy provided by Fred MacAulay. Fred emphasised the importance of the cause having lost his own father to prostate cancer, yet kept the evening light-hearted by engaging guests with some extremely entertaining anecdotes. The dinner was hosted by BBC Scotland's Clare English.
