Cahonas founder Ritchie Marshall IF you’ve strolled or driven past the council’s HQ in Dumbarton at night in the last few days and wondered why it’s lit up in blue.then wonder no longer. It’s all part of a new campaign, being backed by the Reporter and West Dunbartonshire Council, to get men in Dumbarton and the Vale talking more openly and candidly about their health. In particular, we are backing calls by the Cahonas Scotland charity, which is based in West Dunbartonshire, to get men in the area to check themselves regularly for anything untoward – in case it turns out to be a sign of testicular cancer.
EXCLUSIVE IT’S a dream line-up of supporters for any charity - Sam Heughan, Sir Paul McCartney, Brad Pitt and Eric Clapton to name just a few. When you are a tiny outfit in Clydebank with just one member of staff, it is all the more mind-blowing. But Cahonas Scotland, set up by Ritchie Marshall in 2009 to educate men about testicular cancer, is no ordinary charity. Its light-hearted approach, social media-focussed drive and humorous online campaigns - #checkyourbawballs, at Christmas, for example – which have reached more than 100 million people, have helped to spread a vital health message to young men across the country.
