The chairman of the Leighton Hospital Prostate Cancer Support Group has stepped down after 17 years.
Gary Steele founded the group after having been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He has been the driving force behind the group since its formation, and he was awarded the MBE in 2012 for his work.
The group has tested thousands of men in the Crewe and Nantwich area and further afield in Lancashire, Cumbria and North Wales.
As well as the group’s activities with patients, Gary has overseen donations of equipment to the urology and several other departments at Leighton Hospital.
Gary told the support group’s AGM: “If I could be remembered as one who has saved men’s lives through my efforts, it will have all been worthwhile.”
