NURSES will be in Burnley next week with their cancer awareness roadshow supported by singer Ronan Keating and his family.

The roadshow aims to help the public recognise possible signs and symptoms of cancer and to help reduce their risk by leading a healthy lifestyle.

Visitors will also get advice on how they can help to stack their odds against cancer by making positive health changes like ditching the cigarettes or cutting down on alcohol.

The event is sponsored by Marie Keating Foundation, set up by Ronan Keating and his family in memory of their mum Marie who died from breast cancer.

Ronan said: “It’s really important that people know to go to their GP if they notice any changes to their bodies that are unusual or persistent. And that there’s lots we can all do to help reduce the risk of cancer.

“The roadshow helps to get these messages out to people as they go about their daily lives in town centres, shopping malls and community centres. My family and I are very proud to support the Cancer Research UK Cancer Awareness Roadshow and we think our mum would be pleased with the work we are doing.”

The roadshow will be at Sainsburys Burnley, Active Way, between 10am and 4pm on Tuesday April 9 and Wednesday, April 10.
