Mike Sanders has a spectacular aura about
In your opinion is the cancer research 'race for life' charity raiser

discriminative against men? This charity 5k run is (as you may or may not be aware) limited to women only.

My arguement against is that this acts under the massive assumption that women only get breast cancer whereas (although uncommon) it is a condition which men can get also.

If you lost your mother/wife/daughter (whatever) to breast cancer, surely you'd want to help raise some cash for it through this supported event.

To my knowledge there isn't a 'men only' prostate cancer charity run... and I wouldn't consider that fair if there was.

Over to you for your thoughts?
