Men in Pants Weymouth 2009

The Rotary Club of Weymouth are preparing for their Second Men In Pants Walk to raise funds for Orchid, the Male Cancer Charity, on 24th October 2010 commencing 11 minutes to 11 am (don't leave it until the eleventh hour). It is hoped by publicising the event in our locality that men of all ages might take note of how serious cancer can be within the male species. Cancer has no respect for age and as such this is not an age related disease. The walk is targeting men in our locality, it is hoped that we can raise not only money but the profile of these horrendous diseases. Therefore we would like to appeal to your club with your male members to come out on Sunday 24th and support this very worthy cause as cancer can strike at any time with disastrous effects on friends, families and loved ones.
Statistics:

· 35,000 cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year.
· 2,000 cases of testicular cancer are diagnosed in the UK every year.
· Out of every hundred cancers diagnosed in men, 24 are for prostate.

By raising funds and the profile it is hoped that men in Dorset will benefit from our 2nd Annual Walk. So please don't delay, check yourself today.

If you or your group would like to take part in this worthwhile cause of which sponsorshipl monies raised will go to Orchid please contact us:

To make the day a little more fun we hope to get as many men as possible to wear their pants over their trousers/shorts, but this is not compulsory and a prize will be given to the best pants on show.
