Cancer in any form is no joke and though the majority of us do our best to stay informed and give to Cancer Research Charities Penile Cancer still seems to sit in the background.

So how can we bring this issue back into the public eye? …With a Penis Fun Run, of course.

On the 26th September Orchid will be hosting a 2k charity run in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford.

To participate you must register in advance HERE, minimum pledge amount is £100. All donations will go towards Orchid’s work in penile cancer research, education and support services.

 

On the day you’ll receive your inflatable penis costume upon entry (alternative costume colours available please email to enquire), you’ll then run, walk or waddle your way to the finish line all in the name of charity.

Never before has it been more acceptable to be a penis :0)

 

 

The Time:  Tuesday 26th Sept at 6.30pm

The Place:  Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London 

Price:  Registration Fee is £20, minimum pledge amount £100

Everybody loves a rubber duck, whether you’re 6 or 60, male or female everybody loves a rubber duckie…including you, don’t be lying now.

What could make us love these little yellow buggers more, well what if I told you they’ve started doing charity work, yep that would do it.

On 14th July our little duckie friends will be racing to raise money for the redevelopment of the children’s intensive care unit in St Mary’s Hospital. Donate £3.00 to enter and if your duck wins you get to go to Paris  (holy f*** balls).  Regardless of whether you win or not you get the joy of knowing your £3.00 will help children for years to come, that’s the s*** right there.

 

  • The Place:  Paddington Basin, W2 1AF
  • The Time:  Thursday 14th July, race starts at 12.30pm
  • Tickets:  Get tickets from here
