Menz recognises that prostate cancer is a real men’s health issue, affecting one in every six males. The disease is one that is often avoided by men, who choose to ignore – or simply aren’t aware of the warning signs. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, men’s health can be forgotten.
Menz means men’s health” aims to increase awareness of prostate cancer in the community and raise valuable dollars for research in a bid to secure better treatment and understanding of the disease.
Phil Sims CEO of Robern Menz said Many of our core brand values are around corporate responsibility and Menz has long been a supporter of our local community. Over the years we have had the opportunity to champion various causes, many focusing on children’s charities. We are very excited about launching this campaign, particularly considering the natural fit between the Menz brand and Men’s health!
