Supporters are to be informed that our hosts this weekend, Rochdale, are holding another Prostate Cancer Testing Day on Saturday 11th January, in conjunction with the Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal (BKPCA).
Taking place before our away fixture against Rochdale in Sky Bet League, from 11.30am-2.30pm, in the RAFC Study Centre on Willbutts Lane at the Crown Oil Arena.
This year, the target is to test 400 men!
We are highly encouraging all men to return for their 12-month test, along with those who have not had the test yet, to know your score.
Those being tested will be asked for a donation of £5-£10 on the day to go towards the cost of the test, which is £25.
Bolton manager Keith Hill will be amongst those to be tested for his 12-month check-up on the day.
The test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. Below is a table of results, which has been split into three categories; green, amber and red.
In addition, Wanderers will be hosting their very own Prostate Cancer Testing Day at one of our home games during the current season.
