Bergsåker Targets Record Fundraising for Prostate Cancer Research During Saturday V85
Bergsåker racetrack is aiming to surpass last year’s fundraising total of 364,000 kronor during Saturday’s V85 race meeting, Expressen reported. The event, known as Mustaschtravet, forms part of Prostatacancerförbundet’s nationwide November campaign to support research and treatment development for Sweden’s most common cancer.
We are collecting money in the fight against prostate cancer,
said Mohammed Malla, sports manager at Bergsåker. Prostate cancer accounts for 29 percent of all cancer diagnoses among Swedish men, with approximately 11,000 individuals affected annually.
