Great event organised by our fabulous @UniStrathclyde movember student team who have raised an amazing amount for prostate cancer research. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to host. @StrathUnion #ProstateCancer #letsgetmalestalking #menshealth.
Up on the 8th floor of @StrathUnion getting ready for our #Movember event. Really important to raise awareness of mens cancers and mental health and to #gettalking about #ProstateCancer @SIPBS_Strath @UniStrathclyde
