Widows of Scots prostate cancer victims urge men to get checked

Widows of Scots prostate cancer victims have urged all men to get checked. Jean Holloway, 86, and Anne Graham, 62, bravely volunteered to front the campaign as the Prostate Cancer Memorial visited Scotland during a UK tour.

Their husbands’ names, Walter and Albert, are on the 10-foot mirrored steel pyramid. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. In Scotland, 3779 men will be diagnosed each year and 975 will die.

Jean, of Rutherglen, near Glasgow, lost Walter in 2007 and since his death has raised over £35,000.
