The Prostate Cancer UK Man of Men logo will spectacularly showcase personal, poignant and powerful messages this Father’s Day on (Sunday, 21st June) in an exciting and unique virtual venture.

In line with their mission statement Men, We Are With You, the leading men’s health charity has created a special public online space for dedications and tributes to dads and father figures.

Prostate Cancer UK is asking the public to share a message or tribute on the new Dedication to Dad wall, where they can also make a suggested donation, to help fund lifesaving research and to give men more Father’s Days.

Highlighting what makes dads great, what we love about them and what we miss when they are lost too soon to prostate cancer, the Dedication to Dad wall is available on the charity’s Father’s Day hub with supporters able to donate and leave a message to celebrate or remember their dad.

Last week prostate cancer was announced as the UK’s most commonly diagnosed cancer for the first time, according to new figures – 10 years earlier than previously predicted.

Designed by digital agency Psycle Interactive, the Dedication to Dad wall will allow supporters to click on a relevant icon and leave their message – and already many sons, daughters and loved ones have paid their own personal tributes.

The messages include one tribute from John Lines, of Mansfield. PGA Professional golfer John lost his dad to prostate cancer last year, and since then has embarked on a fundraising mission through his golf business, Golfsupport.com.

John has raised more than £4,000 for Prostate Cancer UK by donating a percentage of every sale, as well as rounded-up sales, to the charity. He also donated a prize for the charity’s online #StayPuttChallenge and is including Prostate Cancer UK literature in outgoing orders, raising awareness of the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK.

“I wanted to do something in honour of my Father after I’d not spent the time I could or should have done with him. This felt wholly appropriate to do as something which would honour him,” John says.

His touching message reads: “I’m who I am because of you, you taught me respect and honour too. Never forgotten, always in my mind. One more day, why can’t I rewind? I’d say I love you, we’ll be OK. With love on Father’s Day.”

As well as posting messages, supporters can also purchase one of three brand-new E-Cards, and order physical versions too, with all proceeds helping fund life-saving research.

Go to prostatecanceruk.org/father to make a dedication and find out of all other activities in the build up to Father’s Day and help fund lifesaving research to give men more Father’s Days.
