abstract: Q: What attracted you to working with The Prostate Cancer Charity? A: I began working for the charity on a temporary basis in August 2000. Then three days after I started taking telephone calls there was a news story on BBC Radio 4 about preventing prostate cancer. I got into the office that morning and the phones were buzzing and stayed like that for a week. It was very exciting to see how the helpline could be so reactive, and made my work feel worthwhile.
