We are a small registered charity based in Burnley Lancashire, set up by Barry Kilby former director of Burnley Football Club who himself is living with Prostate Cancer, The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal was set up to encourage men to get tested for Prostate Cancer by having a simple PSA blood test, we do this by holding testing days at sporting venues such as football clubs, golf clubs and cricket clubs these are all run by volunteers. Since 2015 we have tested over 11000 men with over 1000 having a raised PSA level, prompting them to get further medical treatment. At the moment there is no screening offered to men for Prostate Cancer on the NHS, this can result in a late diagnosis and sadly in most cases no cure, so our offer of a simple blood test is highly important for earlier treatments and recovery.
