Pop star backs health roadshow
A ROADSHOW with a difference arrives in town tomorrow with the backing of a pop star.
Ronan Keating is urging people to attend the Cancer Awareness Roadshow at the Middleton Grange Shopping Centre, in Hartlepool, until Friday.
The unit is part of a collaboration between the Marie Keating Foundation and Cancer Research UK.
Ronan, who lost his mother, Marie, 51, to breast cancer 11 years ago, said: "Since we began working in partnership with Cancer Research UK in 2006, the roadshow has proved a huge success with over 81,000 people visiting the units."
It shows how people can reduce their risk of cancer and spot signs and symptoms at an early stage as well as providing support to help people make positive changes to their lifestyle.
Visitors can talk to a specialist nurse in a private consultation room for free, take a BMI test to find out whether their weight is within a healthy range and pick up useful health information to take away.
Cancer Awareness Roadshow nurse Carol Grieve said: "We hope to talk to members of the public – men and women, young and old –0 about how cancer can be prevented and detected."
The roadshow will be at the centre from 11am-5pm and for more details visit www.cancer.org.uk/health
