Doyle Hands Over Fashion Show Proceeds
Wolves' star striker Kevin Doyle handed over a massive cheque for £7,086 to Keep Your Eye On The Ball's fundraising manager Carrie Williams.
The money was raised earlier this year when Wolves teamed up with luxury fashion show Harvey Nichols to stage a fashion show, with all profits from the evening's auction and raffle coming to Everyman, as well as the profits from a designated auction prize at Wolves' End of Season Dinner.
Striker Kevin Doyle and his teammate George Elokobi stripped off for a special photo shoot, so it was only fitting that he should hand over the final amount. He said "I have to say I wouldn't have posed for a picture like that if it wasn't such a worthy cause! It was great to see the lads do their thing on the night itself too and a real bonus that so much money has been raised for such a great campaign".
Thank you Wolves for raising a fantastic amount which will go directly to fund our research into prostate and testicular cancer.

Adventurer and actor Charley Boorman supports Everyman
After being diagnosed with testicular cancer in March, Charley is supporting Everyman's Turn Blue initiative. His story entails a fortunate coincidence involving his pet dog Ziggy...
When Charley’s wife Olivia took Ziggy for a check-up, the vet noticed one of the dog’s testicles was harder than the other and explained that this could be a sign of testicular cancer. Charley had earlier disclosed similar symptoms of his own to Olivia so after the appointment, she knew to urge Charley to get himself checked out immediately.
Following a blood test and ultrasound, Charley was diagnosed with early stage testicular cancer in his right testicle. The cancer was a seminoma which is a less aggressive form of the disease.
Charley said: “One testicle was definitely harder than the other. Now and again I’d get a throbbing ache down there, a bit like after you’ve been kicked where it hurts. But it wasn’t really painful and, because I was busy, it was easy to dismiss as one of those aches or pains you get now and again and ignore.
He was operated on within four days of the diagnosis – the testicle was removed and replaced with a prosthetic. He then underwent one round of chemotherapy as a precautionary measure and was back riding his motorcycle within ten days of the surgery. Charley will have regular checks for the next ten years.
After further checks, Ziggy also came back with a clean bill of health.
