In January 2021, Robin Campbell from Penwortham was diagnosed with stage 2/3 prostrate cancer, although after a prostatectomy surgery he was declared cancer free. The 68-year-old now has regular check ups every six months.

Trevor encouraged Robin to do a blood test which led to the diagnosis, both are now encouraging others to do the same as this type of cancer affects many men today and early treatment often leads to success

Currently £2000 has been raised for the cause but more donations are still being encouraged.

To support the cause visit Robin and Trevor’s fundraising page.
