The magnificent sum of £12,000 was raised at a splendid Ball recently organised by Guildford Lions in aid of \The Prostate Project and GRACE.

Each charity received cheques for £6,000 from Lion President Keith Hamblin who thanked all those who had attended the event and given so generously.

Receiving the cheque the Prostate Project Consultant John Davies said the donation will be used to purchase two special cystoscopes to be used with a recently acquired Green Light Laser.

The cheque for GRACE was received by gynaecological oncologist Simon Butler-Manuel who thanked everyone and said the money would be used to purchase three hysteroscopes which will allow the two gynaecological oncologists to undertake keyhole surgery on patients suffering from gynaecological cancer.

It was an entertaining evening the highlight of which were the singing waiters; you had to be there to understand the attraction, but they brought the house down.

Project Prostate, based at the Royal Surrey County Hospital, undertakes research into prostate problems, whilst GRACE, a newly established charity, aims to carry out research into gynaecological cancers.

The cheque is presented to John Davies of The Prostate Project
