People affected by male cancers such as prostate and testicular cancer are being encouraged to help take part in a fun charity walk – in a thong.
But patients, friends and family should know wearing underwear is not mandatory – entrants can also take part in fancy dress or remain fully clothed.
The 10 kilometre Rosemere ‘thongathon’ was first held in September last year. It aims to raise awareness of the prevalence of male cancers. It raises funds for research into cancer and initiatives which support people with the disease.
The event has been organised by the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, a charity committed to helping cancer patients across Lancashire and South Cumbria. The event will take place on Wednesday September 20, starting from the Flag Market in Preston city centre at 7pm. The route will take walkers back to The Rosemere Cancer Centre at the Royal Preston Hospital where refreshments will be waiting.
For a sponsorship form or further details about participating in the event please call Ron McAndrew on 01772 523598 or visit www.rosemere.org.uk.
