The Great Drag Race

What is The Great Drag Race? The Great Drag Race is a spectacular new annual fund-raising event that aims to radically increase the public's awareness of prostate cancer. We hope to persuade a thousand men of all shapes and sizes to descend on London, where they will each walk or run for 10.2km wearing a wig and a frock in order to drag the issue into the spotlight. That's one long stride for each of the 10,200 men lost to the disease each year.

Why is this necessary?
Prostate cancer kills almost as many men as breast cancer kills women, and yet 70% of us don’t even know what the prostate is. That's a shocking statistic. Men are dying unnecessarily because they are unaware of the symptoms of prostate cancer, and because they are not aware of the risk factors involved. Experts agree that this is partly due to a lack of funding and media attention, and partly because men are not very good at talking about such delicate matters.
