Prostate cancer memorial to visit Lincoln on nationwide tour

The Prostate Cancer Memorial travelling across the UK, will soon make its way to Lincoln, finding a temporary home at The Waterside, marking a significant moment for the community, as the memorial is said to serve both as a powerful symbol of remembrance and a call to action in the fight against prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, with more than 1,000 men diagnosed with it every week.

Mary-Jane Booth, Centre Manager at The Waterside, said: We are honoured to host the Prostate Cancer Memorial here in Lincoln. This memorial is a powerful reminder of the impact prostate cancer has on families across the UK. We hope that by bringing it to The Waterside, we can contribute to raising awareness and supporting the incredible work done by Prostate Cancer UK.

“The Prostate Cancer Memorial has been created by Prostate Cancer UK as a striking tribute to the thousands of lives touched by this disease. The memorial has already garnered attention and support in London, and its arrival in Lincoln will provide the local community with an opportunity to engage with the cause, learn more about the disease, and contribute to ongoing research and support efforts.

“Hosting the memorial at The Waterside highlights the Centre’s commitment to supporting important causes that affect its visitors and the broader community. The Centre expects that the memorial will draw visitors from across the region, enhancing awareness and encouraging discussions about prostate cancer. The timing of the memorial’s arrival is especially significant as it coincides with various awareness initiatives in the healthcare community, offering a local platform for education and support.”
