A football club that has worked with Nike and Netflix has launched a new jersey to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
Working with the North East London Cancer Alliance, Hackney Wick FC's latest top shows the 'It's Not A Game' logo, showing its commitment to supporting cancer patients and getting men from all backgrounds to get themselves screened.
Prostate cancer accounted for 26% of cancers diagnosed in men in 2017. It has become more common over the last 30 years and is projected to rise by an additional 12% by 2035.
Bobby Kasanga, founder of Hackney Wick FC, said: “As a football club deeply rooted in our local community, we are incredibly proud to launch this new jersey in partnership with the North East London Cancer Alliance.
"Prostate cancer is a pressing issue that affects so many, particularly in our community, and we’re committed to encouraging men to get regular check-ups while supporting those impacted by the disease.”
The jersey also features BE, the new sponsor for Hackney Wick FC, a sports brand founded by Bobby Kasanga to inspire positive change and supporting community youth through sport.
