Background
Sir Clive Lloyd CBE AO is a cricketing legend, best known for leading the West Indies to consecutive World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979. His leadership and strategic brilliance earned him the nickname “Supercat.” Beyond cricket, Sir Clive is a passionate advocate for prostate cancer awareness, using his platform to educate men on the importance of early detection and proactive health management.
Objective
Sir Clive aims to break the stigma surrounding prostate cancer and encourage men to prioritize their health. Leveraging cricket’s broad audience, he emphasizes the importance of regular screenings, early diagnosis, and open conversations about men’s health. His mission includes harnessing the power of the region and individual states to make sure early detection, testing, medical pathways, and equipment are all in place, with a specific intention of more early diagnosis, more treatment, and less preventable death.
Program Activities
Through “The Great Catch” initiative, Sir Clive promotes prostate cancer awareness through public speaking engagements, media appearances, and community outreach. To launch this initiative in Guyana, Sir Clive is partnering with Dr. Moti Ramgopal at Midway Specialty Care Center, combining expertise in clinical research, infectious diseases and community healthcare to drive early detection efforts and expand access to screenings.
At the CARPHA conference, Sir Clive will share his journey from cricketing legend to health advocate, demonstrating how sport can drive meaningful health conversations. His message is clear: just as teamwork and strategy are vital on the cricket field, so too are they in the fight against prostate cancer.
