Clubbing to Combat Cancer, ‘DJs vs the Big C’ – Club Flyer Design

Here is some more info about the event and the reason its being held:
Dean Laidler is 29, has Bowel Cancer for the second time in his life and instead of sitting around moping, has decided to stage a charity dance event in aid of Bowel Cancer UK.
As a chef from Oxford, to look at Dean you’d think he was a normal healthy chap in the prime of his life. But Dean is far from it, diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2004, he has undergone 2 major surgeries to remove his bowel completely, extensive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In 2008 he was told it was back, this time in both his lungs. Dean now lives on a cancer management programme and all the while remains upbeat that some day he will be in remission.
Dean has a unique way of dealing with his condition, taking each day as it comes and making the most of life. As a way of coping, as well as giving something back to the cause, Dean came up with the idea for a charity clubbing event to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK ‘DJs vs the Big C’.
He enlisted the help of his sister, Carla Prosser, who has previous experience with event organising and went to Bowel Cancer UK with his idea. They were thrilled, knowing that this would not only raise money but raise awareness, especially in the younger generation. As bowel cancer risk increases with age and it is a disease often associated with older people it can be missed in the young. It is vital people are aware of the symptoms and that they act on them with a visit to the doctor as bowel cancer is highly treatable if it is caught early
The event will be held at the word renowned Ministry of Sound in London on Sunday 31st January from 3 2-9pm. Headline acts include Danny Ramplng, Xpress 2 and Funkagenda as well as club classic sets from John Kelly, Graeme Park and Allister Whitehead to name a few.
The initial interest has been astounding with the Facebook group attracting over 3000 members, a number which is growing each day.
Dean Laidler quote.”Its so hard knowing how to make a difference and help others. Organising this event not only raises money for Bowel Cancer UK but keeps me positive. Listening to music and dj-ing are my favourite past times so it made sense to combine it with fundraising”
