Mid Sussex Prostate Cancer Support Group Celebrate 10th Anniversary
This is an article that appeared in the Mid-Sussex Times on the 23rd June 2022 to highlight our 10th anniversary celebration…….
On Friday 17th June Mid Sussex Prostate Cancer Support Group held their 10th anniversary get-together at the village hall in Clayton. The group was started in 2012 by Jenny Stanger and a number of those original members are still in the group today.
Her aim was to offer support to men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and give them advice and guidance through their cancer journey. Jenny was unable to attend the meeting but sent her best wishes and a short speech which was read out by one of the present committee.
We had a short speech by the group chair Brian Holden and another by one of the founders and still secretary and treasurer, Jenny Lea. The support group has grown to 80 members over the last 10 years and there are new men joining every month.
The primary aim of this meeting was to get as many of our members together to celebrate the success of our group, we especially wanted members from the original meeting 10 years ago and previous chairs to attend. There were quite a number of those original members amongst the 34 people who attended on the day. Wives and partners are also encouraged to take part and there were quite a few on the day.
The meeting was unlike most group meetings in that there were no speakers or presentations, simply lots of really good food and plenty of chatting and reminiscing among the members. One of our regular members Mike Knibbs entertained the group playing his ukulele and singing several songs which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
MSPCSG is open to anyone who has prostate cancer and would like support or guidance during their cancer journey.
