The profile of these Ambassadors, combined with the relaxed environment that their stories are delivered in, provides an awesome vehicle to talk to men in more detail about the key aspects of a prostate or testicular diagnosis.
The Ambassadors tell their stories in hope that their experiences might help those who have recently had a cancer diagnosis and also make others aware of the need to take action.
In each seminar a Cancer Society representative joins the Ambassador, and a relevant clinician, to ensure that all questions can be addressed. These seminars are delivered in the schools, clubs and businesses of New Zealand, which allow men to talk and listen in surroundings that they are familiar and comfortable with.
So far 6 seminars have been delivered throughout the country with up to 100 men attending each one. Many more sessions are planned for the year ahead and we encourage you to get along to one when we’re in your neck of the woods.
