Prostate Cymru has joined forces with Nation Radio to sponsor the prestigious Dad of the Year Award for the Pride of Wales Awards.
This exciting initiative aims to recognise and celebrate devoted fathers who embody love, resilience, and selflessness in their everyday live.
The Dad of the Year Award holds a special place in the hearts of many, as it seeks to honor the exceptional men who go above and beyond in their roles as fathers, mentors, and pillars of support within their communities.
Whether they’re lending a listening ear or simply being a source of unwavering strength, these dads play an invaluable role in shaping the lives of their children and making a positive impact on those around them.
It’s important to recognize the sobering statistic that one in three men in Wales with a family history will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
By shining a light on the remarkable contributions of fathers while simultaneously advocating for prostate health education and early detection, we can strive to create a future where fewer families are affected by this disease, allowing fathers to continue their vital roles in shaping the lives of their loved ones for years to come.
Tina Tew, Chief Executive of Prostate Cymru said, “We’re thrilled to partner with Nation Radio for the Dad of the Year Award for 2024. With 1 in 8 men in Wales being diagnosed with prostate cancer, raising awareness about prostate health and supporting initiatives like the Dad of the Year is vital in helping save lives. We can’t wait to recognise the amazing work of fathers who demonstrate compassion, resilience, and dedication in all that they do.”
This is a golden opportunity for individuals across Wales to shine a spotlight on the remarkable fathers in their lives and pay tribute to their enduring commitment and unwavering love.
Whether it’s a father, grandfather, stepfather, or father figure, all nominations are welcome as we come together to celebrate the extraordinary men who are champions both at home and in the wider world.
Join us in honoring the unsung heroes of Welsh families and communities by nominating your choice for Dad of the Year today.
Let’s come together to celebrate these remarkable individuals and express our gratitude for their invaluable contributions to the lives of those around them.
