World-renowned Professor Barry Hancock will pull the trigger to start the 3km Prof Hancock Fun Run on July 12, as part of the charity’s Men’s Cancer Campaign. Professor Hancock, known as ‘Prof’ to his colleagues, was recently awarded an OBE from Buckingham Palace and is due to retire at the end of July after 35 years at the hospital.
Rachel Thorpe, director at Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity, said: “Professor Hancock was instrumental in starting the charity 15 years ago and with his retirement looming, naming our brand new 3k fun run ‘the Prof Hancock Fun Run’ seemed the obvious and right thing to do.
