BPS Raise $5,225 In ‘Movember’ Fundraising
Detective Superintendent Sean Field-Lament as well as a team of seven Constables consisting of Daniel Cole, Anthony Smith, Khalid Pitcher, David McHugh, Ralshon Douglas, Michael Charlton and Christopher Rodrigues grew moustaches in support of the recent Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre’s ‘Movember’ men’s health awareness campaign.
Combined, the eight men raised a total of $5,225, with Mr. Field-Lament being recognised as the top MoBro fundraiser for contributing $3,670.
Detective Superintendent Field-Lament said, “I am just happy to support this worthy cause. Two of the most beautiful people I know, my sister Nicole and my cousin Sara are cancer survivors.
“I have another cousin Maureen who is currently fighting this insidious disease. I am constantly inspired by their grace and courage. Hopefully we can raise awareness further and help find a solution.”
The team of seven Constables participated to bring awareness to men’s health and support the new radiation therapy facility.
“We took part in the event to increase men’s health awareness and to help in raising funds for the radiation therapy initiative in Bermuda,” they said. “We feel it is a very important cause and we are happy to assist in any way possible. We exceeded our goal in raising over $1,500 for the charity, which we are very proud of.”
Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre [BCHC] applauded the efforts of all, saying “Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die on average six years earlier.
“By participating and growing a Mo, the members of the BPS, along with all MoBros, start an important and much needed conversation with their families and friends about the importance of routine health checks and health issues facing men,” states Deborah Titterton Narraway, PR & Fundraising Manager at Bermuda Cancer and Health Centre.
“This year the funds raised will support the new radiation therapy facility due to open mid-2017 as well as continuing to support the annual Men’s Health Screening Clinic and Men’s Health Voucher programme.”
