Prostate Cancer awareness - is your employer getting involved?

What a sociable crowd I met on Heskin Lane, Ormskirk yesterday as I collected 2 bags and gave out 3 Know your Prostate Quick Guides. I must make special mention of Chris who popped out to offer me a drink. As a member of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service he is fully up to speed on Prostate Cancer. This is the kind of employer we need in the campaign to spread the message. With posters displayed in the workplace, Chris already had his leaflet and showed my his Man of Men badge. All this is essential but even more importantly, Chris had clearly taken advantage and made himself familiar with the disease. I was struck by his enthusiasm, good man. I have huge admiration for those who put themself at risk for our safety. Not forgetting to mention his Mum who does her own volunteer rubbish collections on Holborn Hill.

I was also pleased to see Roger, longtime friend of the page, who had just been covering a story about the outrageous amount of flytipping on Blackacre Lane since it was closed. You can follow the story at qlocal/Ormskirk.

Couldn’t help hearing a medley of that Hot Chocolate classic merging with You can leave your hat on in my thoughts. Could it be the cast of a drama society had been rehearsing The Full Monty locally? Underpants, trousers...mobile.Spring is definitely here, catkins, daffodils, snowdrops, trees budding. I don't know about you but I find all these signs of life really uplifting. Get out there and enjoy it.
