Bath Rugby Club Backs Male Cancer Charity Orchid
Orchid is delighted to be supported by Bath Rugby as their official charity for the 2009/2010 season. In a bid to raise awareness of male cancers, Orchid's logo will be displayed on the back of players' shirts.
Bath player David Flatman believes that raising awareness of male cancers is incredibly important:
"We are very proud to have Orchid on the back of our shirts," commented David. "It's nice to think we might make a difference. Lots of people see us each week and we are on the TV this week, which will hopefully increase the impact. I am really glad that the club have got behind it and the boys are all supporting it."
