This week's guest speaker is Peter Haine from the Rotary Club of Monbulk
Peter will be telling us about his involvement with the Male Bag Foundation and in particular his participation in this year's Male Bag Ride
The Male Bag Foundation works to raise awareness of prostate cancer, to support men in rural areas and use the funds they raise to help fight prostate cancer.
The foundation became aware that access to safe and accurate biopsy methods was seriously lacking in rural areas. As a result the foundation now works directly with rural hospitals to allow men access to the gold standard prostate biopsy at their local hospital.
The Male Bag Ride started in 2013 and is an annual fundraising ride/tour completed on Postie Bikes. This years ride back in March covered almost 1000km around regional Victoria. The foundation's patron is football legend David Parkin who regularly participates in the Male Bag Ride.
