Latest from John following last year's letter
Sunday,
6 January 2013
M Pragnell Esq.,Chairman,
Cancer Research UK
Dear Mr Pragnell
OPEN
IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
WHY WERE THERE NO BOYS IN YORK’S RACE FOR LIFE - OR TRURO‘S?
WAS YORK PRESS & YORK MINSTER FM SENT PRESS RELEASES ?
WAS TRURO’S LOCAL MEDIA ?
Alas, because I have not yet received your considered reply to my Recorded Delivery
letters of 13th October and 1st December 2012, I send this with information, received in an e-mail from Cancer Research UK...
"A man's lifetime risk of developing cancer is set to reach one in two by
2027"
I now repeat the questions posed in my Recorded Delivery letter of, 13th October:
Were York Press and York Minster FM sent Press Releases re the rule change allowing boys under age eleven (11) to participate in Race for Life?
Was the local media in Truro ?
To conclude, I stress, the information re males lifetime risk increasing to 1 in 2 by 2027 - is another "Glaring example" why males should be allowed to participate in Race for Life throughout the UK"
I trust you will endeavour to allow males to participate in Race for Life - possibly under a new name brand "Race for Life Together" , or "Race Together for Life"...
I look forward for your considered response - re Press Releases being sent to York Press and York Minster FM; also the local media in Truro ? Also, re males being allowed to participate in Race for Life....
With
kind regards,
John
Taylor

I thought you had to "retire" form all this John,. Congrats on keeping it up. I will certainly never support these Misandry riddled bigoted charities until they desist this disgusting discrimination.
I actively encourage all my male friends to do the same and send them your letters so they can see what is going on and why they shoudl not support either Race4life or Cancer research UK.

The differences are startling and stark. This report needs to be shown far and wide. As usual men are assumed to be responsible for thier own poor health. But really this is an ringing criticism of decades of Health and Gov. services ignoring men's health. Truly the disposable sex.
