Funds raised from the half-marathon will go towards the charity's Men's Health Campaign.nn"As soon as I heard Cancer Focus was using men's health as its theme for the half-marathon I knew I had to get involved. The music industry is such a male environment and I count many men among my closest friends," Kaz said.n"It's well known that men don't always take the best care of their health so I'm 100% behind this drive to raise men's awareness of cancer, its causes and how to prevent it.n"I've called my song 'I'm Gonna Run' and you will soon be able to download it onto your iPod and run along to the beat. I hope you'll join me, lace up your training shoes and get to it for your dads, brothers, husbands, sons and friends. It really is a cause worth getting breathless for."nnJoyce Savage, Head of Appeals and Marketing, Cancer Focus, said, "Every year 5,794 local men are diagnosed with cancer -- that is 22 men every working day -- or two football teams inside 24 hours. Sadly, 2,000 of them die each year.nn"Our focus is on raising awareness and reducing local men's risk of developing cancer later in life.n"You can help us do that. Whether you walk it or run it, whether you participate or sponsor someone, your help and support are invaluable. Please sign up today for your man -- and every man."nnFor more information about Cancer Focus please call 028 9066 3281 or click on www.cancerfocusni.org.
