Gervais and other celebrities design bags for prostate
cancer
18 June 2009
British comedian Ricky
Gervais and other celebrities have taken part in a new fundraising
scheme to support The Prostate Cancer Charity.
High-profile personalities were invited to customise a series of
men's handbags for The Manbag Company, which will be auctioned off
for the good cause later this year.
Other contributors include Rio Ferdinand, Spandau Ballet,
Depeche Mode, Alan Carr and Jade Jagger.
Gervais commented on the initiative: "Prostate cancer touches
the lives of 35,000 men and their families every year in the UK. I
hope the auction of celebrity manbags will raise as much money as
possible for The Prostate Cancer Charity."
John Neate, chief executive of the charity, added that the idea
had "struck people's imaginations and revealed some hidden artistic
talent".
One man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK.
The Prostate Cancer Charity provides support and information and
funds research into the disease.
