Ken Moir makes SPFL Trust Trophy draw
Written By Jake Gray
Ken Moir has today made the draw for Rounds 1 & 2 of the SPFL Trust Trophy, alongside the SPFL’s Molly Hyde and Liam McNally.
Ken, who is 78 years old, took part in Prostate Football Fans in Training, which we run in partnership with Prostate Scotland.
Prostate Football Fans in Training is a 12-week health and wellbeing programme for men living with prostate cancer. The programme is supported by experts in prostate cancer and fitness including the University of Glasgow Health and Wellbeing Institute.
As well as building knowledge of exercise and nutrition, prostate FFIT allows men living with prostate cancer to meet and share experiences with those in a similar situation.
Ken believes the programme has helped him immeasurably, and would recommend it to anyone living with prostate cancer.
“I got involved after hearing through a friend that they were running courses at Ibrox for people with prostate cancer” he said.
“It’s a course that is specifically set out for me with prostate cancer and it was a very informative course. Over the 12-week period the course included exercise and nutritional programmes to help everyone through their treatment.
“The course was invaluable and the people who ran it, the people who looked after us, were very good.
“I was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014, so I’m 10 years in to my treatment, but the course helped me in so many ways, physically and mentally.”
Ken enjoyed his experience making the SPFL Trust Trophy draw.
“I thoroughly enjoyed it” Ken said.
“To walk through the front door and through Hampden for the first time, I was more than happy to do it.
“I’m very glad that I was asked, I feel privileged to have been invited along to do it.”
