CALLING MEN OF GREAT BRITAIN – FIRE UP YOUR BBQ AND BEAT THE BIG C

25 May 2012

In gardens all around the UK this summer men will congregate around the
grill marvelling over their sausages. What men don’t love talking about
though is their health and yet each year there are 37,400 men diagnosed with
a male specific cancer.

Orchid, the male cancer charity, and celebrity chefs, the Fabulous Baker
Brothers (Tom and Henry Herbert) are calling on men across the UK to fire up
their BBQ’s and get their bangers out this June or anytime during the summer
months to host their own ‘Big BBQ’ and raise awareness of male cancer.

With plenty of occasions to get the great British Summer underway, such as
National BBQ Week (May 28th – June 3rd 2012), the Diamond Jubilee bank
holiday weekend (2nd June – 5th June 2012) and Father’s Day (Sunday 17th
June),  Orchid’s ‘Big BBQ’ initiative aims to get men fired up about their
health and encourage them to get together with family, friends and
colleagues during June to be the BBQ King and raise much needed funds for
Orchid as well as awareness of testicular, prostate and penile cancers,
highlighting signs and symptoms and encouraging self checks.
