ABC doing audience based show on prostate cancer

[Nev Black]

Dear Queensland Board Members, Ambassadors, PCSG members and friends

The ABC rang to provide us with an opportunity to be on a national show.  I’m hoping that lots and lots of you in PCFA insignia will turn out on Sunday afternoon 17 November, in Brisbane.  The details I received are as follows: 

Here is our call out- if you want to share it- just use the link at the end of this email- we really need to get it out to the general public.

We are looking for audience members to take part in a new and exciting factual entertainment series called Save Your Life Tonight!

Commissioned by ABC TV, Save Your Life Tonight will explore the major health issues affecting Australia today. Filmed in front of a live audience, the series will focus on prevention. Audience members will have the opportunity to participate if they wish by having simple checks that could reveal the health risks they face.

Featuring a host, panel of medical experts and celebrity guests, over six episodes we will cover issues to do with Heart Disease, Skin Cancer, Weight and Diabetes, Mental Health, Lungs disease (including Asthma) and the most common cancers in Australian - Breast, Bowel and Prostate.  We will be filming at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.

We are looking for Brisbane and South East Queensland based participants to be part of the studio audience at least one day between the 14 and the 17 November 2013.
