Every 45 minutes, a man dies from prostate cancer in the UK. Darren was diagnosed three years ago at Christmas, aged just 42. He faced the most difficult prognosis of all because it was found too late, when it had become incurable: “That Christmas was excruciating. We were still in shock.” New discoveries offer hope for men like Darren. But without the right support, too many stall before they move out of the lab and reach patients – a critical gap known as the “Valley of Death".
To bridge the gap & fast-track breakthroughs for men like Darren, we created Proven Connect – our pioneering initiative to help promising discoveries reach patients sooner. We invest in the strongest ideas, giving them the funding and support they need to grow and thrive. Right now, we’re backing seven innovations - including a prostate cancer vaccine and AI-boosted MRIs, showing great promise in patient trials. With your help, we can fund even more breakthroughs to reach the men who need them.
