“It’s really important too that as we lose great events like Run For Dad that put a real focus on men’s health that men do not forget to take their health seriously and look after themselves. Please do not put off seeing your doctor or health professional for a check up. Don’t skip those very important screenings for prostate and bowel cancers. Our Men’s Health Clinic is still running as an ‘essential service’ so we can help you with any health needs.
“It’s important to stay safe and follow the Coronavirus rules but the State Government has gone to great lengths to remind people it’s essential to continue getting medical care where needed and that’s a great message.”
Mr Strange said proceeds raised through the Run For Dad had been vital to the Men’s Health Clinic at Bendigo Community Health Services through the years in getting important messaging into the community about the need for men to look after themselves.
“We look forward to the Run For Dad returning in 2021 because of the huge role this event plays in getting men and their families out and about being active together and thinking about the importance of men’s health,” Mr Strange said.
