A statement from the Prostate Cancer Gibraltar Committee follows below:

 

The Prostate Cancer Gibraltar Committee would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to the people of Gibraltar for their incredible support during a weekend dedicated to raising awareness and funds in the fight against prostate cancer.

 

On Saturday 17th May, the Committee hosted an Prostate Cancer Awareness Day at the Piazza, where members of the public were invited to learn more about prostate cancer — its risks, signs, and the importance of early detection. The team spent the day engaging with passers-by, offering leaflets, advice, and encouragement for men over the age of 50 or showing symptom’s to take proactive steps for their health.  The Awareness Day was supported by music group The Uninvited.

 

The awareness efforts continued on Sunday 18th May, when The Dapper Riders Gibraltar rolled in with a powerful show of solidarity. As part of a special event, The Dapper Riders donated the individual registration fees as well as other monies collected and sold limited-edition motorcycle patches and held a raffle, donating all proceeds to Prostate Cancer Gibraltar. Their generosity and community spirit were deeply felt and greatly appreciated.

 

The Committee would like to warmly thank the dedicated "Buddies" who volunteered their time and energy across both days. Their presence made a huge difference. And to the wider Gibraltar community, your continued support is the driving force behind everything we do.

 

These events not only raise vital funds but also break the silence around prostate cancer — encouraging men to speak up, get checked, and stay informed.

 

Together, as a community, we are making a difference.
