Doctor’s donation in memory of husband
Academics at Sheffield University said the “substantial” gift came from Dr Naomi Turner, in memory of husband Dr Maxwell Turner who died in 2002 after a nine-year battle with the disease.
Dr Turner said she became a student at the University in the 1940s after following in the footsteps of her father, Dr Carl Myers, who also studied medicine at Sheffield.

“I am so pleased that the donation is going to have a direct impact on the University’s prostate cancer research project. I hope it helps to improve diagnosis of the disease.”
