Bottom Line
A candid and delightful discussion with two pioneers who are shaping the awareness of anal and colorectal cancer in the LGBTQ+ community.
What do an entrepreneur and a stand-up comic have in common? A desire to raise awareness for the LGBTQ+ community about anal and colorectal cancers. David founded Cheeky Charity following his own health scare with colorectal cancer in 2021. Daniel has been HIV positive for fourteen years and was engaged in advocacy when he was diagnosed with anal cancer.
The two began collaborating only a year ago, providing special sensitivity to mental health issues. Their approach is to educate, entertain, and inspire. With an awareness of cancer's psychological, physical, and spiritual effects, Cheeky Charity combines humor with education, creating a unique and effective strategy.
Talking about cancer at Pride events across the country, Cheeky Charity strives to keep the community healthy by addressing the risks openly. With ease of conversation that encourages people to lower their guard, they convey their message through excellent website design and honest dialogue.
Stigma is a struggle. Unapologetically irreverent, Cheeky Charity fosters an environment that promotes prevention through awareness and early detection. Their myth-busting, empowering message of support is straightforward: Love your body. Love yourself. Recognize your risk. Get screened.
