Action Cancer’s Big Bus which visited 225 communities and workplaces last year, is to visit The Irish News as part of its ongoing campaign to promote better health.
The Big Bus which launched in 2006 and it is supported by SuperValu, delivered 4,500 breast screenings and 2,500 health checks, last year, travelling 20,000 miles throughout the north.
Action Cancers aims to increase awareness of early cancer detection and provide people with a picture of their current health, so they can make any changes to their diet and lifestyle necessary.
During the ‘MOT’, people will be offered a number of tests - including cholesterol and glucose testing, and blood pressure checks.
