I've just done the Breastwayround Charity Bike Weekend in the north west of Scotland. It was an all female event to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
I met a couple of girls, Shona and Jilly, who are members of this forum too. I think there were some members of this forum joining the ride out today. Am I right? Let me know if you were connected with this event? Would be good to hear how you got on. Cheers Ali |

Numbers were limited to 50. It was also organised to raise awareness and promote biking for women.

I thinkn there should be more awareness of cancers commonly afflicting men i.e. testicular and prostate.

Can I say a big thank you to all involved, whilst breast cancer is predominately a woman's disease. It does effect family and friends of those going through it.
MacMillan do a great job supporting all those with cancers (Not just breast), However, there is never enough. I hope you all enjoyed your ride round Scotland and the incidental cash raising was also successful. Quote:
When a former work colleague contacted me recently to inform me he was now one down, I asked his permission to let everyone he knew know. Maybe if they know that Steve got it, it might just encourage them to have a feel and do something if concerned.

Exactly Tim. Ok, maybe dont post it here on the forum, but if there is someone on MSN or that you can PM or whatever, someone you can talk to IF you think you have found something, then bloody well say so. And then get to the doctor. I'd rather suffer the doc having a poke of my bits than leave it and have to have it all removed, and still left with a chance that any cancer may have spread
Dirk; i cant organise a rideout for carp. Maybe you should, you seem to have extensive organisational skills ![]() Matt |

men only cancer charities are like celebrating being english - we just don't do it - but there's no reason why not.
I found an 'oddity' whilst have a quick adjust - down the quacks within 2 days. Never even been to the surgery before, let alone have a normal doctor to see. Knock, enter - woman doc ![]() Just what she needed just before lunch on a monday morning ![]() BTW, was referred for an ultrasound to be on the safe side and it turned out to be nowt ![]() If in doubt, got 'em checked out |
