1472 FC promoter, Dozy Mmobuosi Foundation, holds prostate cancer awareness walk today

As the world marks the 2023 Prostrate Cancer Day, Dozy Mmobuosi Foundation, the promoter of new Nigerian National League (NNL) outfit, 1472 FC, which is also a medical outreach, is organising a 3.3km walk to promote fitness and create awareness for the disease.

Speaking in Lagos yesterday, Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, Martin Ebuwa, said the theme of the campaign is “Let’s keep fit and fight prostate cancer.”

The Walk will start at the popular Ikeja under the bridge and terminate at the Ikeja City Mall in Alausa tomorrow at 8.00 a.m.

Ebuwa said the event has been endorsed by the Nigeria Cancer Society (NCS), adding, “We also would have on the walk some of our favourite celebrities, who are supporting the awareness campaign and the atmosphere would be made convivial by music from lively DJs and tasteful refreshment.”

He said the foundation would offer free prostate cancer screening to men above 45 years, as well as free blood pressure and blood sugar tests to everyone who volunteers for the tests during the walk.
