I AM writing to ask your readers to join me and support ?Man Alive 2003? ? Cancer Research UK?s men?s cancer awareness initiative, which will be running from May 12 until June 15.
The aim of this special campaign is to raise £300,000 for research into cancers that affect men, as well as raising awareness among men about cancer and encouraging them to take care of their health.
One in three men in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives, almost 130,000 every year, with prostate cancer being the most common type in men.
Cancer Research UK supports a broad programme of research into these cancers, covering their causes and development, prevention, early detection, treatment and quality of life of patients funded almost entirely by public support and
donations.
By getting involved with Man Alive 2003, you will be helping to fund this vital research, which saves lives.
Simply call 08701 601040 or register online at http://www.cancerresearchuk">www.cancerresearchuk.
org/manalive now to receive a fundraising pack and have fun raising money and saving lives,
With many thanks.
