How nuts is this? Organizers are asking people to "grab your meat and come out to Atlantic Canada's first ever ribfest fundraiser for testicular cancer awareness."
Called Nuts4ribs, the fundraiser this weekend in Bedford, N.S., features rib cook-offs, music and a nationally acclaimed one-man play by Daniel Schneiderman, titled My Left Nut, a humorous look at testicular cancer.
Behind the unique fundraiser is Michael Kydd, who works in communications with the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation and who was diagnosed with testicular cancer three years ago.
Kydd says he didn't know the warning signs of the disease before he was diagnosed. "What I'm trying to do is make sure men understand that by ignoring these warning signs, you're not doing yourself any good."
So what's the connection with ribs? "The best way to a man's soul is through his stomach,'' Kydd said.
"We said, 'Well, what do men love?' We didn't want to have a hamburger event, so what we decided is to have a ribfest."
