The 2024 Hollard Daredevil Run – A huge boost for prostate cancer awareness

This years Daredevil Run had the highest number of participants since the event begun. The Prostate Cancer Foundation is one of the beneficiaries of the event, and also participates in the numerous media interviews that place prior to the run. The extensive PR campaign provides a unique opportunity to educate men about prostate cancer and the importance of age and risk appropriate screening. Acturial forecasts are showing that prostate cancer will be the most common cancer in South Africa by 2024. Thanks to the funding provided by Hollard from this event, the Prostate Cancer Foundation is working hard to make screening more accessible for men in underprivileged areas. However, South Africa’s under resourced public sector remains a massive challenge, as most men  will require referral to a public sector hospital if they have a high PSA for a urological assessment.
