WA Management raise over £1000 for Prostate Cancer UK

Leamington Spa-based Health, Safety, Quality and Environmental Compliance Management Consultancy

WA Management have raised a total of £1,100 in support of Prostate Cancer UK as part of the March the Month fundraising challenge.

March the Month is an annual campaign to raise money for Prostate Cancer to provide vital support for men and their loved ones affected, along with cutting-edge and lifesaving research. The goal set for participants is to walk 11,000 steps per day, representing the

11,000 men who pass away from prostate cancer every year.

Research has been funded by donations for 25 years and has changed the landscape of prostate cancer diagnosis and medication development. Recent research includes using targeted nanomedicine to cause less side-effects with chemotherapy and improving outcomes with personalised radiotherapy treatment.

As a team, WA Management completed a total of 3,090,136 steps, and donating

£3 for every 11,000 steps achieved up to the target of 341,000 steps per person – for a total of £800 donated by the company!

Contributions were also received from kind donations from friends, family, and customers.

William Whittaker, Managing Consultant of WA Management, explains the importance of this campaign.

“As Health and Safety Consultants, we understand the importance of bringing awareness to diseases such as prostate cancer – both to raise all-important funds, and also to help reduce the stigma that may cause preventable deaths.

“Voicing any worries or concerns to a GP, so that tests can be conducted early, could make a huge difference to someone’s diagnosis. We want to fund those lifesaving tests and the support those diagnosed will rely on post-diagnosis.”

The WA Management team having enjoyed getting stuck into March’s challenge are now looking forwards to their next fundraising challenge and researching potential events to get involved with.

This fundraising event is the second WA Management has taken part in as a team, after raising £1,265 for mental health charity Mind in their 2023 100 Miles in March campaign.
