Leicester Tigers rugby player, Dan Hipkiss and Baz Desai, licensee of Everards pub, the Marquis Wellington lend their support to the ‘Tackle It' campaign organised by students Francesca Gamble and Tallulah Hall.
‘Tackle It' is a regional campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer and is supported by Everards, who will feature campaign posters in the toilets of its whole pub estate, highlighting the importance of regular testicular examination.
The main aim of ‘Tackle It' is to raise awareness of an often over-looked condition, but it will also be used to raise funds for research into the disease. Patron, Dan Hipkiss gives the following advice, "You can be a fit and healthy young guy, but remember you are not invincible, testicular cancer can happen to any one of us. Check yourself regularly lads, or get your girlfriend or wife to do so, either way it's not anything to be ashamed of."
On Thursday 8th May sports players such as Ollie Smith, Sam Vesty, Harry Ellis, Stuart Broad and Paul Nixon to name but a few, will be taking part in a charity fashion show to help raise money for testicular cancer. With stunning visuals, live music and an incredible auction made up of sporting lots, such as a private tennis lesson with Wimbledon Champion Pat Cash, it is a night you most certainly won't want to miss.
