Vancouver Bears All on Sunday

While many folks will be downtown watching and celebrating a team winning the World Cup, hundreds will be running around in their underwear for a different reason this Saturday.

There’s a 10km run / 5km walk where folks will be wearing everything from underwear to costumes to regular running gear. All to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation.

Check out some info from the folks behind the event…

This is the fifth annual Underwear Affair event in Vancouver, a cheeky
race where the fun continues well after the finish line with the EXPOsed
afterparty. From beginning to end, this Affair is fun for a good cause
and exposes these “taboo” and under-funded cancers like colorectal,
cervical, prostate, testicular and ovarian among others.

In British Columbia, 42% of diagnosed cancers are “underwear” cancers.
Participants in BC Cancer Foundation’s Underwear Affair presented by
Mark’s Work Wearhouse have the opportunity to make a difference in the
fight against cancers below the waist right here in Vancouver by raising
much needed funds and shedding some light on cancers “down there”.
