Ah mid June has arrived and that can mean only one thing. Its running season. Personally we hate running, but when it comes to the charity fun runs we have to say fair play to all who take part. It is, we admit a predominately female thing, they flock together in an excited gaggle and run to raise money for causes important to them, but that doesn’t mean men aren’t welcome. One organisation is going to great lengths to make sure you are included, in fact they have created a run with men and men’s underwear in mind. Lets not beat around the bush here guys, prostate cancer kills, and with that in mind Pants in the Park has been created to raise vital funds.

 

Now here is where we expect lots of awkward throat clearing, perhaps you are even tempted to click away from this article, but just hang on a moment ok? Yes you are young, and you don’t really want to worry about things like testicular cancer, but tough. Men as young as 18 have suffered from this disease, which if caught quickly can be treated with little fuss. We want your attention here for two reasons. The first is check, read an article and learn what to check for and then do it. Don’t put it on the back burner, something you will do one day. Do it now. It is so simple it can be done once a month in the shower and no one ever need know, so don’t pull that face - think about it. Secondly, have a look at things like Pants in the Park.

 

You go to the gym, you work out, you want the ladies to think you are body beautiful - then get out there and show it off whilst doing some good in the world. Let you in on a secret, lads that do charity work impress the girlies. They love it, it proves you have a sensitive caring side, drop that into conversation and you are on to a winner. It is one morning out of your life, the runs are taking place throughout June and July up and down the country, and you really will help make a difference. Make it cool, round up your mates, raise some money, go for a run and have a pint after, and get involved. 

 

Did we mention the pants by the way? Pants in the Park... the clue is in the name. Wear your pants with pride superman style. Outside your clothes, boxer shorts, trunks, your favourite Calvin Klein underwear, it matters not. The brighter and more outrageous the better. Go on, you know you want to - there is even a prize for the best dressed pants on the circuit, you could even win! Buck the trend and help spread the vital message, prostate cancer kills, and sadly even lads like you, so help raise awareness, help raise money, and learn to check so you know what the danger signs are. Pants in the Park equals Cancer in the Can, what are you waiting for?
